Mounting an ISO file
An ISO image (.iso) is a disk image of an ISO 9660 file system, and refers to any
optical disc image, even a UDF image. In addition to the data files in the ISO
image, it also contains all the file system metadata, including boot code, structures,
and attributes. All of this information is contained in a single file. These properties
make it an attractive alternative to physical media for the distribution of software
that requires this additional information as it is simple to retrieve over the Internet.
To mount an ISO file, click Mount ISO File, locate the file and mount it.
17.5.1 Things to know during operation of the Virtual Media
Because Virtual Media emulates USB 1.1 over a TCP connection it has a number
of limitations which govern the Virtual Media compatibility and operation.
· Virtual Media emulates USB 1.1. It doesn’t emulate USB 2.0
· Virtual Media redirects the Clients local DVD/CD or removable mass
storage devices to a Target computer during the open client session only.
This means if the remote client session disconnects, the mounted drives will
be automatically dismounted in the Target computer.
· Maximum data transfer speed of the Virtual Media doesn’t exceed 5.0
Mb/s
· Only drives identified by the Client Operating System as Drives with
Removable Storage can be mounted as a Virtual Media. Many USB attached
hard disks identify themselves to the Operating System as Hard Disk Drives
and can’t be used for Virtual Media mounting.
· Booting from mounted virtual media drive is possible only if the Target
computer supports boot from USB attached storage.
· Currently, it is not possible to boot a Target computer from Linux
distribution mounted as a Virtual Media.
· Windows CD/DVD or its modifications as Winternals ERD Commander,
WinPE, BartPE, or similar can be used for booting the Target computer
when mounted as a Virtual Media.
