Some advantages of <strong>Virtual</strong> Optical Media Library<br />
� With read-only virtual media the same virtual optical device can be presented to<br />
multiple client partitions simultaneously<br />
� You could easily boot from and install partitions remotely without having the need<br />
to swap out physical CD/DVDs or setup Network Installation Manager (NIM)<br />
server<br />
� Easier to boot a partition into maintenance mode to repair problems<br />
� Easier to maintain a complete library of all the software needed for the managed<br />
system. Various software packages as well as all the necessary software levels<br />
to support each partition<br />
� Client partitions could use blank file-backed virtual optical media for backup<br />
purposes (read/write devices)<br />
� These file-backed optical devices could then be backed up from on the VIO<br />
server to other types of media (tape, physical CD/DVD, TSM server, etc.)<br />
