Managing Media Stores

A media store is an NFS or VMFS datastore that contains a directory for media. Use media stores to store CD,
DVD, and floppy images of operating systems and applications that you need to install on Lab Manager
virtual machines. You must add media files to media stores outside of the Lab Manager environment and then
synchronize the Lab Manager media library with the media stores.

Add Media Stores

To add a media store, you must enable an NFS or VMFS datastore for media. You can use different directories
on the same datastore for media and virtual machines. For information on NFS and VMFS datastore
requirements, see the Lab Manager Installation and Upgrade Guide.
By default, only system administrators can add media stores.
To add a media store
1 Click Resources in the left pane.
2 Select the organization to which you want to add the media store from the Organization drop‐down
menu.
Select Global to add the media store as a resource available to all organizations, but assigned to none.
You can assign it to organizations later.
