Updating the directory for a virtual machine has no effect on the virtual
 machine, until the virtual 
machine is next logged on. For a virtual machine that is already logged o
n, you will have to log off 
and log back on again.

If you want the virtual machine to stay logged on, you can either ATTACH 
the device to the virtual 
machine, or ATTACH it to SYSTEM and then LINK to it from the virtual mach
ine.
