To be used in Virtual Machine Manager, files—including ISO images, scripts, virtual hard disks, and virtual floppy disks—must be added to the VMM library. The topics in this section describe how to add library servers, add library shares, add files to existing library shares, and perform library refreshes to index the resources on library shares.
