Managing the Media Library

The media library enables you to store media image files. You can upload data, such as the drivers, to a virtual
machine template or virtual machine from the media library.
During the CD and floppy operations available from the individual console of a virtual machine template or
virtual machine, you can access the image files in the media library.

Synchronize the Media Library with Media Store Files

You can synchronize the contents of the Lab Manager media library with the contents of the media store
directories on all your datastores. Synchronizing adds files to or deletes files from the library. When you
synchronize the media library, you become the owner of the added media. See "Synchronize a Media Store"
on page 101 to synchronize the contents of a media store with the Lab Manager media library.
Media files have the following requirements:

CD and DVD files must end with .iso.

Floppy disk files must end with .img, .vfd, or.flp.
To synchronize the media library with media store content
1 Select the organization that contains the media stores you want to synchronize.
Select Global to synchronize all media stores.
2 Click Synchronize Media and click OK.
Lab Manager synchronizes the media library with media store content.
