Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for creating and exposing virtual disk images to a host server, during a KVM session, using an HTML5 KVM virtual media client running in the Web browser of a user's device (e.g., PC workstation). The host server is able to select all or specific portions of the virtual disk image for use, whereupon the bytes representing the selected data content are packaged by the HTML5 KVM virtual media client and transmitted to the host server. Using the HTML5 KVM virtual media client to create and expose virtual disk images eliminates the problem of the Web browser not being able to directly access physical media (e.g., disks) on the user's device.
