In one of the environments that I support at $WORK, I wouldn't have an option 
other than physical optical media. However, you are correct in that the 
example I provided earlier was for iDRAC (or equivalent) optical drive

cdrom option, but not with an iDRAC's VirtualCD implementation, or in an 
actual optical drive.
