Managing Virtual CDs

Create and manage virtual CDs (VCDs) to make software installation media available to the virtual machines on your everRun system in ISO format.

A VCD is a read-only ISO image file that resides on a storage device of the everRun system. Use the Virtual CD Creation Wizard (in everRun Availability Console) to upload an existing ISO file, as described in Creating a Virtual CD.

After you create a VCD, you can boot from it to install a Windows or Linux guest operating system, or start a VM from a bootable recovery VCD. You can also insert a VCD into a running VM to install software applications.

You manage VCDs as described in:

• Creating a Virtual CD
• Inserting a Virtual CD
• Ejecting a Virtual CD
• Booting from a Virtual CD
• Renaming a Virtual CD
• Removing a Virtual CD

Users who are assigned the role Administrator or Platform Manager can perform all VCD tasks. Users who are assigned the role VM Manager can perform all VCD tasks, except rename a VCD. (For information on assigning these roles, see Managing Local User Accounts.)
