directory for the Virtual FileDVD. The eject command changes the Virtual FileDVD into a
Virtual NullDVD device. ISO files can be added to or removed from the file system directory for
the Virtual FileDVD by the VM Host administrator. Once this ISO file directory is updated, use
an insert command to view all the newly available ISO files in the directory and to choose one
to be used for a new Virtual FileDVD. It is not necessary to change the file directory between
each eject and insert operation. The guest administrator can change the ISO files provided in the
file directory without any VM Host administrator interaction. For example:

For attached devices, modifications are made physically on the device. The guest OS supplies
commands for loading and unloading tapes using media changers. But loading new media into
the media changer, changing tapes in stand-alone drives, and changing discs with CD/DVD
burners are accomplished manually. This requires cooperation between the VM Host administrator
and the guest administrator.
