Using iLO 2 108
•
-t = <Boolean>—Uses a telnet connection indirectly through this utility from the debugger. Socket
connection to socket 3002 is the default setting.
•
-u Username = <String>—Sets the Username for iLO 2 login. If not provided username is
requested. <String> is a series of characters. Options can occur in any order.
Example command lines:
•
To connect to iLO 2 at 16.100.226.57, validate the user with the user name of admin with the
password mypass, and start WinDBG.exe with the additional command line:
wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -c "-b" -u admin -p mypass
This example starts WinDBG.exe with an additional command line of -b and uses a direct socket
connection from WinDBG.exe to iLO 2 on port 3002.
•
To connect to iLO 2 at 16.100.226.57 and validate the iLO 2 user with the username of admin
and password mypass, and start kd with an additional command line for kd of -b:
wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -k -c "-b" -u admin -p mypass -s 7734
This example starts kd with an additional command line for kd of -b, and uses a direct socket
connection from kd to iLO 2 on port 7734. To use this example, you must configure iLO 2 to use
port 7734.
•
To connect to iLO 2 at 16.100.226.57 and request a user name and password:
wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -c "-b" -t -e
This example starts WinDBG.exe with an additional command line of -b and uses an encrypted
telnet connection from WiLODbg to iLO 2 and passes WinDBG.exe data through the utility to the
telnet encrypted connection.
Virtual media
Virtual Media is a licensed feature, if Virtual Media is not licensed, the message iLO 2 feature not
licensed appears. See "Licensing (on page
)" for more information. The ability to use iLO 2 Virtual
Media is granted or restricted through iLO 2 user privileges. You must have the Virtual Media privilege to
select a virtual media device and connect it to the host server.
The iLO 2 Virtual Media option provides you with a Virtual Floppy disk drive and CD/DVD-ROM drive,
which can direct a remote host server to boot and use standard media from anywhere on the network.
Virtual Media devices are available when the host system is booting. iLO 2 Virtual media devices connect
to the host server using USB technology. USB enables new capabilities for the iLO 2 Virtual Media
devices when connected to USB-supported operating systems. Different operating systems provide various
levels of USB support.
•
If the Virtual Floppy capability is enabled, the floppy drive normally cannot be accessed from the
client operating system.
•
If the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM capability is enabled, the CD/DVD-ROM drive cannot be accessed from
the client operating system.
CAUTION:
To prevent file and data corruption, do not access the local media when using
local media as virtual media.
You can access virtual media on a host server from a client through a graphical interface using a Java™
applet and through a scripted interface using an XML engine. The Virtual Media applet does not timeout
when Virtual Media is connected to the host server. The Virtual Media applet closes if the user logs out.
