Virtual optical devices
Virtual optical devices were introduced with Virtual I/O Server V1.5. Together
with the Media Library of a Virtual I/O Server, this device is able to virtualize CD
or DVD images that are stored in the VIOS media library to one or more logical
partitions. Before virtual optical device can be used, you must configure a media
library.
Creating a media library
To set up a media library, a storage pool must be available. Refer to 4.6.2,
“Storage pools” on page 124, for an explanation about how to set up a storage
pool.
To set up a media library, follow these steps:
1. Click the Optical/Tape tab in the View/Modify Virtual Storage window to
create a media library. Then click the Create Library button, as shown in
Figure 4-46 on page 136.
