LM4.0 --> Where is the attach local CD/Floppy to VM?? posted: Nov 6, 2009 10:12 AM

New installation of vCenter Lab Manager 4.0 and it appears that the VM web console is lacking the ability found in the vSphere client to attach a local CD/Floppy drive to the VM. Are we REALLY stuck with using ONLY the LM Media library thus forcing users to create ISO's of all their physical media?? And what about an easy creation of vfloppy disks that the end users can handle? This all seems backwards and screeming for a HUGE improvement.

Thanks!

What you want to do isn't supported from the lab manager UI. You can still do it from vcenter though.

We have people install an iso mounter tool in their vm's. Users can connect to their local system via file sharing and then mount the .iso's. I only keep administration tools in the media share.
