Configuring Virtual Media Boot Order

The Virtual Media Boot Order feature enables you to set the server boot options. You must have
the Virtual Media and Configure iLO Settings privileges to change these settings.

NOTE:

Changes made to the boot mode, boot order, or one-time boot status might require a

server reset. iLO will notify you when a reset is necessary.

Changing the server boot mode

HP ProLiant servers that support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface include the HP UEFI
System Utilities software, which is embedded in the system ROM. On servers that support this
feature, the iLO web interface Boot Order page includes the Boot Mode section. Use the Boot Mode
setting to define how the server looks for OS boot firmware. You can select UEFI or the Legacy
BIOS.

To change the server boot mode:
1.

Navigate to the Virtual Media

→Boot Order page.

2.

Select Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) or Legacy BIOS, as shown in

Figure 119 (page 227)

.

3.

iLO prompts you to confirm the change. When you change this setting, you cannot make
additional changes on the boot order page until you reset the server.

4.

Click OK to confirm the change.

5.

Click Server Reset to reset the server.
