Services client.
Using virtual devices
With virtual devices, an administrator directs a host server to boot and use a diskette or CD-ROM on the
client machine or use an image file from anywhere on the network. Virtual devices eliminate the need to
visit a host server to insert and use a diskette or CD-ROM, enabling remote operating system installation
and host server ROM updates from a CD or network drive.
Virtual devices allow you to carry out any of the following functions:
•
Running User Diagnostics by booting the host server from a diagnostic diskette
NOTE: HP recommends that you first delete the SYSMON2.TM file before using User Diagnostics with the
Virtual Floppy Drive.
•
Applying ROM updates to remote host servers
•
Deploying an operating system or other software from a CD in a client machine to a host server
•
Performing disaster recovery of failed operating systems
NOTE: If the server operating system does not support ACPI, using the virtual power button feature of the
RILOE II will shut down the server immediately and not permit a graceful shutdown.
