As you pointed out, the Redfish schema for Virtual Media may not fit 
with this design, so wanted to get your thoughts on how/if we could 
somehow implement having the client request to mount the device via a 
websocket, like by calling the VirtualMedia/<device_id> api, or could we 
leverage some other schemas, or what would be your suggestion? Thanks!
