In some circumstances, you may need to give your Container direct access to a drive on your Hardware Node. Parallels Infrastructure Manager allows you to mount a drive on the Node to a drive inside your Container, thus, granting you access to this drive from inside the Container. After mounting the drive, you can work with the mounted drive inside the Container in the same way as you would do it on the Hardware Node.
Virtually any drive available on the Node can be mounted to a Container, e.g.:
A Hardware Node device can be mounted to a Container on the Mount Device page accessible by following the corresponding link on the Volumes page. On the Mount Device page, you should first indicate the name of the Node drive in the Device Name field. This should be a letter of the alphabet followed by a colon. For example, D: is a common appellation of CD-ROM drives.
In the Mount Point field, choose the name of the drive from the drop-down list.
Click Mount after you have provided the name of the device on the Hardware Node and the mount point inside the Container, and the device will be mounted to the desired drive inside your Container.
Note: The permissions of the device mounted to a Container correspond to those of this device on the Hardware Node, i.e. you are able to perform the same operations on the drive inside the Container as you are allowed on the Node.
