The file upload feature has some behaviors you might notice as you upload a file (or files) to the VNC console of the workload:
Uploading a directory is not supported:
Any directories in the set of files you drag to the VNC console are skipped in the upload.
If you attempt to upload directories only, you will receive an email message notifying you that no files were uploaded.
Some Cloud Manager functions are not available during the file upload process:
You cannot submit a Change Request for a business service.
You cannot use the lifecycle buttons (Start, Stop, Pause, Resume, etc.) on the workload dialog.
If a file upload is already in progress, another upload cannot proceed until the first is complete.
If multiple CD-ROM devices are defined, the feature uses them in this order:
A CD-ROM without media (a blank CD-ROM).
A CD-ROM containing a previously uploaded set of files. The VNC console displays an Eject icon. You must select this icon (that is, the CD must be “ejected” from the drive) before the upload can begin.
Any other CD-ROM device (that is, a physical device, or one that points to some other ISO image). The VNC console displays an Eject icon. You must select this icon (that is, the CD must be “ejected” from the drive) before the upload can begin.
Duplicate filenames being uploaded are renamed:
The first file with the same name keeps its name (file_name.ext).
The second file with the same name is renamed with a number (file_name(1).ext).
