As a result, a virtual disc or physical disc in independent-persistent mode behaves like a conventional disc drive on a physical computer. See also disc mode, nonpersistent mode.
Industry:Software
In hosted products, a hard disc in a virtual machine that is mapped to a physical disc drive or partition on the host machine. A virtual machine’s disc can be stored as a file on the host file system or on a local hard disk.
