## Booting from Virtual Media

After inserting virtual media, a DataVolume is created and the ISO image begins downloading. Once the download is complete, configure the VM to boot from the CD-ROM and restart it:

```bash
# Watch the DataVolume download progress
kubectl get datavolume testvm -n default -w

# Set boot override to CD-ROM
curl -i -X PATCH \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
