Changing the Media

Just as it can happen with any physical machine, you may eventually need to change or extract a removable disk. flexVDI Dashboard supports this functionality, and allows you to extract/insert a removable device while the virtual machine is active. In order to do it, open the menu of the Guest where you want to insert/extract the device, and select "Change Media". Remember that the Guest must be up and running.

The following window will be displayed when you select this option:

From this window you'll be able to see the different ISO images that have been configured in that Guest. Each file is stored in a Media Storage and can be deleted (with the "Eject" option) or changed (with the "Change" option).

If the user has not added any file to a Media Storage when he's creating a new Guest, the window will show a device called "ms-empty". It's an empty device created by flexVM Manager in order to provide a unit where you can add files stored in a previously configure Media Storage.

In order to add a new file, select "Change" and a new drop-down menu will be displayed. Select the Media Storage that contains the ISO image you want to add and then press Finish:

You have just changed the removable device (the ISO image) that will be seen by the Guest.
