3. In the Drive/Image File field, select the device from the drop-down list.

The list contains all the available (unmapped) devices that you can map (CD/DVD, Removable Disk,

Floppy Drive) and image file types that you can map (ISO or IMG). The image files are located in the

default image file directory (typically the user’s desktop). If the device is not available in the drop-

down list, click Browse to specify the device.

The correct file type for CD/DVD is ISO and for removable disk and floppy disk it is IMG.

If the image is created in the default path (Desktop), when you select Map Removable Disk, the

created image is available for selection in the drop-down menu.

If image is created in a different location, when you select Map Removable Disk, the created image is

not available for selection in the drop-down menu. Click Browse to specify the image.

4. Select Read-only to map writable devices as read-only.

For CD/DVD devices, this option is enabled by default and you cannot disable it.

NOTE: The ISO and IMG files map as read-only files if you map these files by using the HTML5

virtual console.

5. Click Map Device to map the device to the host server.

After the device/file is mapped, the name of its Virtual Media menu item changes to indicate the

device name. For example, if the CD/DVD device is mapped to an image file named foo.iso, then the

CD/DVD menu item on the Virtual Media menu is named foo.iso mapped to CD/DVD. A check mark

for that menu item indicates that it is mapped.
