Operating system considerations: Virtual Folder
•
Boot process and DOS sessions—The Virtual Folder device appears as a standard BIOS floppy
drive (drive A). If a physically attached floppy drive exists, it is unavailable at this time. You
cannot use a physical local floppy drive and the Virtual Folder simultaneously.
•
Windows—A Virtual Folder appears automatically after Windows recognizes the mounting
of the virtual USB device. You can use the folder the same way that you use a locally attached
device. Virtual Folders are nonbootable. Attempting to boot from the Virtual Folder might
prevent the server from starting.
•
Red Hat and SLES—Linux supports the use of the Virtual Folder feature, which uses a FAT 16
file system format.
Using iLO Virtual Media from the iLO web interface
The Virtual Media page allows you to perform the following tasks:
•
View or change the Virtual Media port.
You can also change the port on the Administration
→Access Settings page.
•
View or eject local media, including locally stored image files, floppy disks, USB keys,
CDs/DVD-ROMs, and virtual folders.
•
View, connect, eject, or boot from scripted media. Scripted media refers to connecting images
hosted on a web server by using a URL. iLO will accept URLs in HTTP or HTTPS format. FTP is
not supported.
Viewing and modifying the Virtual Media port
The Virtual Media port is the port that iLO uses to listen for incoming local Virtual Media connections.
The default value is 17988.
You must have the Configure iLO Settings privilege to change the Virtual Media port.
To change the Virtual Media port:
1.
Navigate to the Virtual Media
→Virtual Media page, as shown in
Figure 115 (page 220) .

2. Enter a new port number in the Virtual Media Port box.
3. Click Change Port.
The system prompts you to reset iLO.
