How to mount your own ISO using KVM

You can use our video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcR_uZB4BmI&t

Requirements:

• A dedicated server (can be ordered HERE)
• An ISO file, in this example I will be using Ubuntu 20
• Java, this is needed for the KVM, a guide to learn how to use KVM can be found HERE

First we will head over to https://dedicated.pebblehost.com/ and log into our account

• Select Hardware from the menu
• Select your server

• Check under Power Controls that there is a Client Username and Client Password
• If there is a Client Username and Client Password skip this next step
• Select create next to Client Username

• Select Launch KVM (note that you will need to follow this guide HERE if you get a security warning)

• Once the KVM Viewer has loaded select Virtual Media then Virtual Storage

• Select CDROM&ISO

• Select ISO File from the Logical Drive Type and then Open Image

• Once you have selected your ISO file next select Plug in

• Now go back to the dedicated server control panel and under Power Control select the Power drop down and then Cold Reboot

• In the KVM Viewer when you see the supermicro logo press F11 multiple times until you see the Enter Password prompt and enter the password password

• Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight and select IPMI Virtual CDROM

And you are done!
