Using LO100 40

Adding a virtual media device

The LO100 virtual media option provides you with a virtual media drive, which can direct a remote host

server to boot and use standard media from anywhere on the network. Virtual media devices are
available while the host system boots.

To add a new virtual media device, click Add on the Virtual Media Devices page. The Add Virtual Media

Devices window appears. This window has the following options:

The Look In list enables you to change your directory or drive.

The Virtual Media Type list enables you to specify the file type that you want to share. You must
declare a Virtual Media Type before LO100 recognizes they type of device it is sharing.

The File Name textbox is the shared name of the device or images. See "Shared virtual media
devices (on page

41

)". There must be a disk in the device. If a disk is not present the Invalid

file or directory message appears. If you are sharing a device, enter the Device Letter and a

colon (:). Adding the colon distinguishes a device from a file.

Select a value from the Files of Type list to select the files you want to share.
