Viewing and ejecting local media

When local Virtual Media is connected, the details are listed in the following sections:

Virtual Floppy/USB Key/Virtual Folder Status

Image Inserted—The Virtual Media type that is connected. Local media is displayed when
local media is connected.

Connected—Indicates whether a Virtual Media device is connected.

Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Status

Image Inserted—The Virtual Media type that is connected. Local media is displayed when
local media is connected.

Connected—Indicates whether a Virtual Media device is connected.

To eject local Virtual Media devices, click the Force Eject Media button in the Virtual Floppy/USB
Key/Virtual Folder Status section or Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Status section.

NOTE:

For blade servers without an iLO license that grants full Virtual Media privileges, you

cannot use the Force Eject Media option with a virtual media image that was mounted via URL. In
this case, the connection is most likely the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator DVD Drive.
This connection must be disconnected through the Onboard Administrator. An iLO reset will also
close the connection.

Connecting scripted media

You can connect scripted media from the Virtual Media page. Use the .NET IRC or Java IRC,
RIBCL/XML, or the iLO CLI to connect other types of Virtual Media. Scripted media supports only
1.44 MB floppy images (.img) and CD/DVD-ROM images (.iso). The image must be located
on a web server on the same network as iLO.

To connect scripted media:
1.

Navigate to the Virtual Media

→Virtual Media page, as shown in

Figure 115 (page 220)

.

2.

Enter the URL for the scripted media in the Scripted Media URL box in the Connect Virtual
Floppy section (.img files) or the Connect CD/DVD-ROM section (.iso files).

3.

Select the Boot on Next Reset check box if the server should boot to this image only on the
next server reboot.

The image will be ejected automatically on the second server reboot so that the server does
not boot to this image twice.

If this check box is not selected, the image will remain connected until it is manually ejected,
and the server will boot to it on all subsequent server resets, if the system boot options are
configured accordingly.

4.

Click Insert Media.

5.

Optional: To boot to the connected image now, click Server Reset to initiate a server reset.
