Prev	3.4. Installing Oracle VM Manager	Next

Before you can run the Oracle VM Manager installer, you must mount the installation media. You can either burn the installation media to a CD and mount the CD, or mount the ISO file directly from the hard drive. Which ever way you choose to mount the installation media, you should perform this as the root user on the computer on which you want to install Oracle VM Manager.

To install Oracle VM Manager from a CD, burn the Oracle VM Manager ISO file to a CD. Insert and mount the Oracle VM Manager CD using the following commands:
```
# mkdir mount-point
# mount /dev/cdrom mount-point
```
Where mount-point refers to the directory on which you mount the ISO file.
To install Oracle VM Manager from a hard drive, locate the folder that contains the ISO file. Mount the ISO file to an existing directory using the following commands:
```
# mkdir mount-point
# mount -o loop OracleVM-Manager-version.iso mount-point
```
Where mount-point refers to the directory on which you mount the ISO file. For example:
```
# mkdir /OVMCD
# mount -o loop OracleVM-Manager-3.0.x.iso /OVMCD
```
You can find all the mounted files under the directory /OVMCD.
Note
The location of the mounted Oracle VM Manager ISO file should be accessible by the oracle user.
