Virt CD

Supermicro’s IPMI will only mount NTLMv1 shares for virtual CD-ROM drives. Do that like so:

Enable NT1 protocol in your samba server

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
  map to guest = bad user
  hosts allow = 192.168.1.
  log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
  min protocol = NT1

[srv]
  path = /srv
  read only = no
  guest ok = yes
  guest only = yes

In the Virtual Media CD-ROM add the host and path as below and hit Save before you attempt to mount.

Share Host: 192.168.1.X Path to Image: \srv\VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0U3c-19193900.x86_64.iso
