From the Virtual Media Session window, you can assign to the server a CD or
DVD drive, a diskette drive, or a USB flash drive that is on your computer, or you
can specify a disk image on your computer for the server to use. You can use the
drive for functions such as restarting (booting) the server, updating code, installing
new software on the server, and installing or updating the operating system on the
server. You can use the Remote Control feature to access the remote disk. Drives
and disk images are displayed as USB drives on the server.
