D Using Integrated Lights Out Virtual Media with Ignite-UX

The virtual media (vMedia) functionality is part of the iLO 2 Advanced Pack feature set and is enabled by purchasing the optional iLO 2 Advanced Pack license and granting the vMedia right. You can use iLO vMedia to boot and install HP-UX onto an Integrity system from a remote system's DVD device or ISO DVD image. The remote system may be a PC.

This section describes how to use vMedia from a remote PC to boot an Integrity system using a DVD, and then install it using an Ignite-UX server or installation media.

It is assumed the Integrity system is equipped with iLO, and that a valid vMedia license has been obtained and installed. The vMedia feature of iLO requires a Java™ Plug-in. See the HP Integrity iLO 2 Operations Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport for detailed information on iLO vMedia.

If you use an Ignite-UX server to do the installation, the version of Ignite-UX on the boot media must match the version on the Ignite-UX server.

1.On the remote PC, open a browser window. Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the Integrity system's iLO management processor (MP) as the browser Address. Log in to iLO by entering your User Name and Password, and then selecting Sign In. (Initially, iLO is configured with the default login user/password pairs of Admin/Admin and Oper/Oper. Password protected user accounts can be configured and assigned levels of access.)

2.Select the Virtual Devices tab. Select Virtual Media from the left navigation bar. Make sure you have a green Status light reading, “vMedia is available.”

NOTE: Depending on your server, this screen might look slightly different.
