Status section or Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Status section.
Using iLO Virtual Media from the Remote Console
You can access Virtual Media on a host server by using the .NET IRC or Java IRC, the iLO web
interface, XML configuration and control scripts, and the CLP. This section describes how to use
the iLO Virtual Media feature with the .NET IRC or Java IRC.
Using a Virtual Drive
The Virtual Drive feature supports the use of a physical floppy disk or CD/DVD-ROM, a USB key
drive, an image file, and an image file through a URL.
Using a physical drive on a client PC
1. Start the .NET IRC or Java IRC.
2. Click the Virtual Drives menu, and then select the drive letter of a floppy disk, CD/DVD-ROM,
or USB key drive on your client PC.
The virtual drive activity LED changes to reflect the current status of the floppy disk,
CD/DVD-ROM, or USB key drive.
NOTE: When you are using the .NET IRC or Java IRC with Windows Vista or Windows Server
2008 or later, you must have Windows administrator rights in order to mount a physical drive.
Using an image file
1. Start the .NET IRC or Java IRC.
2. Click the Virtual Drives menu, and then select Image File Removable Media (.img files) or
Image File CD-ROM/DVD (.iso files).
The .NET IRC or Java IRC prompts you to select a disk image.
3. Enter the path or file name of the image file in the File name text box, or browse to the image
file location, and then click Open.
The virtual drive activity LED changes to reflect the current status of the virtual drive.
Using an image file through a URL (IIS/Apache)
You can connect scripted media by using the .NET IRC or Java IRC. Scripted media supports only
1.44 MB floppy disk images (.img) and CD/DVD-ROM images (.iso). The image must be located
on a web server on the same network as iLO.
1.
Start the .NET IRC or Java IRC.
2. Depending on the image type you will use, select Virtual Drives
→URL Removable Media
(.img) or Virtual Drives
→URL CD-ROM/DVD (.iso).
The Image file at URL dialog box opens.
3. Enter the URL for the image file that you want to mount as a virtual drive, and then click
Connect.
The virtual drive activity LED changes to reflect the current status of the virtual drive.
Using the Create Media Image feature (Java IRC only)
When you use iLO Virtual Media, performance is fastest when image files are used instead of
physical disks. You can use industry-standard tools like DD to create image files or to copy data
from a disk image file to a physical disk. You can also use the iLO Java IRC to perform these tasks.
