4. Click Create Disk Image. The vMedia applet begins the process of creating the image file.
This process creates a file that emulates a CD/DVD-ROM on the local system. The process is
complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. To cancel the creation of an image file, click
Cancel.
To insert the next CD during an operating system installation or any application installation with
multiple image files:
1. To select the next image file or to replace the CD/DVD-ROM with the next CD/DVD-ROM,
click Browse
2. To continue the installation, click OK on the host server.
IMPORTANT: Do not click Disconnect to select the next CD/DVD-ROM image file.
The connected drive icon and LED change states to reflect the current status of the virtual
CD/DVD-ROM. After you are connected, virtual devices are available to the host server until you
close the vMedia applet. When you are finished using the virtual CD/DVD-ROM, you can disconnect
the device from the host server or close the applet. The vMedia applet must remain open when
you use a vMedia device.
The iLO 3 vMedia CD/DVD-ROM appears like any other CD/DVD-ROM to your operating system.
When you use iLO 3 for the first time, the host operating system might prompt you to complete a
New Hardware Found wizard.
