HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide

If the VSP administrator sets up a Virtual FileDVD for the vPar and VM guest, the virtual console
options to eject and insert are used to select among the ISO files provided in the file directory for
the Virtual FileDVD. The eject command changes the Virtual FileDVD into a Virtual NullDVD
device. The VSP administrator can add ISO files to and remove them from the file system directory
for the Virtual FileDVD. After the ISO file directory is updated, use the insert command to view
all the newly available ISO files in the directory and 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 VSP
administrator interaction. For example:
