Drive Error when mounting an ISO in idraq: Either Virtual Media is detached or redirection for the selected virtual disk drive is already in use

When you try to mount an ISO file in iDRAQ you get the following message: Either Virtual Media is detached or redirection for the selected virtual disk drive is already in use
The screen looks like this:

drive error

To fix this:

  1. On the iDRAC screen, click on “System”.
  2. Then, click on the “Console/Media” tab and then on “Configuration”.
  3. Select “Attach” on the drop down under “Virtual Media”.
  4. Lastly scroll down and click on “apply”
  5. Mount the ISO as you did before, you should now be able to mount it as expected.
