Virtual folder operating system notes

MS-DOS

During boot and MS-DOS sessions, the Virtual Folder device appears as a standard BIOS
floppy drive. This device appears as drive A. If a physically attached floppy drive exists, it is
obscured and unavailable during this time. You cannot use a physical local floppy drive and
the Virtual Folder simultaneously.

Windows

Virtual Folder appears automatically after Microsoft Windows recognizes the mounting of the
virtual USB device. You can use the folder as you would a locally attached device. Virtual
Folder is non-bootable. Attempting to boot from the folder might prevent the server from
booting.

NetWare 6.5

NetWare 6.5 supports the use of Virtual Folder as USB diskette and key drive. For step-by-step

more information, see

“Mounting USB Virtual Media/USBKey in Linux” (page 108)

Power management

iLO 2 Power Management enables you to view and control the power state of the server, monitor

has four menu options: Server Power, Power Meter, Processor States, and Settings. When you
select Power Management, the Server Power Controls page appears. The Server Power Controls
page has two sections: Virtual Power Button and Power Configuration Settings.

The Virtual Power Button section displays the current power state of the server as well as remote
server power control options. The displayed power state is the state of the server power when the
page is first opened. The server can be On, Off, or Reset. Use the browser refresh feature to keep
the status of the power indicator current.

To change the current server power state using the Virtual Power Button options, you must have
the Virtual Power and Reset privilege. Some of the power control options do not gracefully shut
