Creating a disk image for access from the server blade

To install an operating system or applications stored on CD/DVD media on a
server blade without a CD/DVD drive, you can use either of the following
methods.
• Connect the server blade remotely to the CD/DVD drive of the system
console.
• Create a virtual disk image of the CD or DVD media on the system
console, and connect to the console remotely from the server blade.
We recommend creating a virtual disk image. This is because the data can be
read faster from a disk image than from a CD or DVD, and a disk image can
be handled more flexibly. This chapter describes how to create a virtual disk
by using the remote console functionality.

Starting the Virtual Media console

For creating disk images from virtual media, the CB 2500 supports the Virtual
Media console. To start the Virtual Media console, use the Launch Virtual
Media command from the remote console.
1 From the Tools menu of the remote console, execute the Launch Virtual
.
Media command.
