<title>Creating a Virtual Optical Disk Image</title>
<body>
<p>Use the <b outputclass="bold">VISO Creator</b> tool to create a virtual optical disk image from selected files on the host. </p>
<p>A virtual ISO (VISO) differs from a real ISO because the files remain on the host, unless you choose to copy the files to the guest. This makes a VISO faster to create and use, and you do not need guest additions. A VISO is read-only and is ideal for use as installation media or reference data.</p>
<ol>

<p>Display the <b outputclass="bold">Optical Disks</b> tab in Virtual Media Manager and click <b
outputclass="bold">Create</b>. </p>
<p>The <b outputclass="bold">VISO Creator</b> tool is shown. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Create the virtual ISO file. </p>
