<RAC-IP-address>is a valid IP address, in standard numbers-and-dots notation, or (if DRAC 4 support for DDNS is available and active) the DRAC 4 DDNS name.

If an invalid value is detected, an error message displays and the command terminates.

DRAC 4 User Name

-u<DRAC-user-name>

This parameter provides the name of the DRAC 4 user under whose authority the Virtual Media tasks will be performed.

The user name must be valid.

The user must have DRAC Virtual Media User permission.

If DRAC authentication fails, an error message displays and the command terminates.

DRAC User Password

-p<DRAC-user-password>

This parameter provides the password for the specified DRAC 4 user.

If DRAC 4 authentication fails, an error message displays and the command terminates.

Floppy/Disk Device or Image File

-f<device-name> <image-file>

This parameter specifies the device or file to supply the virtual floppy/disk media. <image-file> is the filename (including path) of a valid floppy/disk image file. Example:

Windows operating system: -f c:\temp\myfloppy.img

Linux operating system: -f /tmp/myfloppy.img

NOTE: If the file is not write-protected, Virtual Media may write to the image file. Use the OS-provided mechanism to write-protect a floppy image file that should not be overwritten.

<device-name> on Windows systems: a valid floppy/disk drive letter.

<device-name> On Linux systems: a valid floppy/disk device special filename, including the number of the partition containing a mountable file system, if the disk is partitioned.

Example:

Windows operating system: -f a:\

Linux operating system: -f /dev/sdb4 # 4th partition on disk device /dev/sdb

NOTE: If the device provides a write-protection capability, you can use that mechanism to ensure that Virtual Media will not write to the media.

Omit this parameter from the command line if no floppy media is to be virtualized.

If an invalid value is detected, an error message displays and the command terminates.
