Red Hat and SUSE Linux—Linux supports the use of USB diskette and key drives.

Changing diskettes

When you are using a Virtual Floppy/USB key on a client machine with a physical USB disk drive,
disk-change operations are not recognized. For example, if a directory listing is obtained from a
floppy disk, and then the disk is changed, a subsequent directory listing shows the directory listing
for the first disk. If disk changes are necessary when you are using a Virtual Floppy/USB key,
make sure that the client machine contains a non-USB disk drive.

Operating system considerations: Virtual CD/DVD-ROM

MS-DOS—The Virtual CD/DVD-ROM is not supported in MS-DOS.

Windows Server 2008—The Virtual CD/DVD-ROM appears automatically after Windows
recognizes the mounting of the device. Use it as you would use a locally attached
CD/DVD-ROM device.

Linux—The requirements for Red Hat Linux and SLES follow:

Red Hat Linux

On servers that have a locally attached IDE CD/DVD-ROM, the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
device is accessible at /dev/cdrom1. However, on servers that do not have a locally

attached CD/DVD-ROM, such as BL c-Class blade systems, the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM is
the first CD/DVD-ROM accessible at /dev/cdrom.

You can mount the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM as a normal CD/DVD-ROM device by using
the following command:

mount /mnt/cdrom1

SLES

The Virtual CD/DVD-ROM can be found at /dev/scd0, unless a USB-connected local
CD/DVD-ROM is present. In that case, the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM uses /dev/scd1.

You can mount the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM as a normal CD/DVD-ROM device by using
the following command:

mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom11
