Using the iDRAC Virtual Media
PowerVault DL2 xxx systems that include the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) Enterprise support
iDRAC6 virtual media.
iDRAC virtual media feature allows you to access the DVD drive on a management station from the managed server. The
appliance operating system and applications can be installed using the iDRAC6 virtual media and is an alternative to
using an internal or USB DVD drive.
NOTE: If your appliance does not have an internal DVD drive, connect either a USB DVD drive or use the iDRAC
virtual media to reinstall the operating system and the applications from the media.
Configuring The iDRAC Enterprise For Remote Access
Before virtual media can be enabled, configure the iDRAC Enterprise card for remote access. For more information, see
the topic “Configuring Your System To Use an iDRAC” in the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User
Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
Accessing The Web Interface And Configuring Virtual Media
Virtual media is configured using the iDRAC Enterprise web interface. For more information on accessing the web
interface, see the topic “Accessing The Web Interface” in the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User
Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. After the web interface has been accessed, you can configure the virtual media. For
specific instructions, see the topic “Configuring And Using Virtual Media” in the Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
