Using The iDRAC Virtual Media
PowerVault DL2 x 00 systems that include the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) Enterprise support
iDRAC7 virtual media. The iDRAC virtual media feature allows a management station’s DVD drive to be accessed by the
managed server. The appliance operating system and applications can be installed using the iDRAC7 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, the iDRAC Enterprise card must be configured for remote access. For more
information, see Configuring Your System to Use an iDRAC7 in the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7)
User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

Virtual media is configured using the iDRAC Enterprise web interface. For more information on accessing the web
interface, see Accessing the Web Interface in the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) User's Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals.
After the web interface has been accessed the virtual media can be configured. For specific instructions, see
