Most KVM / IPMI will support virtual CD / DVD media which is linked using various file sharing protocols.

Do you happen to know the brand and model of the server?
 
Its supermicro with FW 1.0x something. The problem is when I use a linux workstation, virtual media wizard does not appear but on windows it does. So I have to find a windows vps to upload my iso image. :(
 
There are actually 2 different ways to use virtual media on the Supermicro IPMI. Since the way to access it varies by model, please contact your data center regarding the issue. I own a Supermicro server and I'm able to load virtual media from my Mac and Linux desktops just fine using the method that does not require a windows share and pass.

Another option is to install SMB services on your LInux desktop and create a Windows compatible share to copy the CD /DVD to as an ISO. I have run into problems w/ the windows share function not working properly and have had to use a Windows VPS once or twice as a work around.
 
Yeah I was researching about it and saw I had to update the firmware or something, but I only got an Operator account on it so I contacted my provider.

Thanks for the idea for SMB services, didn't know there was such a thing lol! Will try it out once my provider responds :D
