HP Onboard Administrator - Manual (Page 136)

Configuring the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure and enclosure devices 136
NOTE: HP c-Class BladeSystem ProLiant and Integrity iLO virtual media performance will be
limited based on the activity and number of simultaneous iLO virtual media sessions and the
Onboard Administrator workload. The Onboard Administrator Enclosure DVD and Enclosure
Firmware Management features also use the iLO virtual media feature and will have similar
performance limitations. To prevent media timeout issues, HP recommends that you limit the
number of simultaneous sessions. If timeout issues are experienced during OS install or firmware
updates, reduce the number of virtual media sessions in progress, and restart the operation.

Virtual Power
The Virtual Power menu enables a Momentary Press or a Press and Hold of the power button, or a Cold Boot
of the selected server blades.
Button Description
Momentary Press This button mimics a physical momentary press of the power button on the server blade.
Clicking this button powers the server blade on or off gracefully.
Press and Hold This button mimics a physical press and hold of the power button on the server blade.
Clicking this button forces the server blade to shut power off without first shutting down
the OS. This option is not available when the server blade is off.
Cold Boot Clicking this button immediately removes power from the system. This command
applies only to server blades that are powered on. Issuing a Cold Boot command to a
powered off server blade acts to power on the server blade.
One Time Boot
Option Description
Diskette Drive (A:)
Forces the server blade to reboot to the diskette drive. Be sure the diskette drive is
attached to the server blade before selecting this option.
