4. Click Create. The virtual media applet begins the process of creating the image file. The process is
complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. To cancel the creation of an image file, click

The Disk>>Image option is used to create image files from physical diskettes or CD-ROMs. The
Image>>Disk option is not valid for a Virtual CD-ROM image. The Disk>>Image button changes to
Image>>Disk when clicked. Use this button to switch from creating image files from physical diskettes to
creating physical floppy diskettes from image files.
RILOE II Virtual Media privilege
The ability to use the RILOE II Virtual Media is restricted by an RILOE II User Privilege. Authorized users
must have the Virtual Media privilege to select a Virtual Media Device and connect it to the host server.
Virtual Media applet timeout
The Virtual Media applet does not timeout when Virtual Media is connected to the host server. The Virtual
Media applet closes if the user logs out.
Operating system USB support
To use virtual media devices your operating system must have support for USB devices. Your operating
system must also support USB mass storage devices. Currently, Windows® 2000 SP4 and later,
Windows® 2003, RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 and SUSE SLES 9 have the required support. Other
operating systems may also support USB mass storage devices.
During system boot, the ROM BIOS will provide the USB support until the operating system loads. Since
MS-DOS uses the BIOS to communicate with storage devices, utility diskettes that boot DOS will also
function with virtual media.
NOTE: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 will not allow you to provide a driver diskette using virtual media.
