How Do I Associate An ISO image With My Lab Profile?

You can add an ISO image to any Lab Profile and associate it with your Virtual Machine (VMs). There are two ways to do this:

  • Create the media Profile for the ISO image first and then associate it with the Lab Profile

  • Create the Media Profile from the Lab Profile itself

Once you are logged in to Skillable Studio:

  1. From Site Administration, under Lab Profiles, select Find Lab Profiles.

  2. Input part of the Lab Series name, and then select Search.

  3. In the search results, select the name of the Lab Profile you want.

  4. On the Lab Profile page, select Edit.

  5. On the Removable Media tab, select Add Media.

  6. Use the filters to refine the search results, select Search,

  7. select the Media Profiles wanted and then select OK.

  8. Save the Lab Profile. By default, once you have added a Removable Media Profile to a Lab Profile, it is available to all virtual machines in that Lab Profile, but not pre-loaded into any VMs at launch. In a launched lab, the user loads the media into a machine the from DVD Drive dropdown for the machine on the Machines panel in the lab interface.

You can set the Media Profile to pre-load an ISO or floppy into specific virtual machines at launch, if needed. To do this:

  1. Select the Virtual Machines tab in the Lab Profile.

  2. For the VM using the ISO, expand the dropdown for the DVD Drive and change the setting from No Media to the Media Profile you just added.

  3. Select Save.

For floppy disks, you would use the same process with Media Profiles.
