Integration of ASUS ASMB10 VMedia DVD/ISO

In this article, we show how to mount a virtual DVD-drive with the help of an ASUS ASMB10 (BMC) module or an ISO-file so that you can perform, for example, an operating system installation remotely.

It has turned out that the direct integration of the ISO in the HTML-console of the KVM-window is the fastest and easiest method.

Preparation - VMedia Instance Settings in the ASMB10-settings

The VMedia Instance Settings must be adjusted to integrate an ISO-image in the HTML-KVM-console of the ASMB10 module.

Navigate to: Settings -> Media Redirection -> VMedia Instance Settings

There, you must allow at least one virtual DVD drive for each CD/DVD device instance.

Mounting of the ISO-image in the HTML-KVM-console

After you have set the VMedia Instance settings accordingly, you can open the HTML-KVM-console.

You will find a button on the upper right corner, which is called Browse File. There, select the desired ISO-image and click on Start Media.

Booting of the mounted ISO-image in the HTML-KVM-console

You have to reboot the system after mounting the ISO-image. After this, the boot entry UEFI: AMI Virtual CDROM is available.

Select this boot entry to boot the mounted ISO-image.

Remote installation of desired operating system

Now, you can install your desired operating system via the usual installer.

The displayed size of the virtual-ISO-image is steadily increased during the installation process until the complete ISO-image is uploaded.

After installation, click on Stop Media to remove the ISO from the HTML-KVM-console.
