1NOTE: The typical use of the Virtual USB floppy is to assist for a network based installation of the Network Operating System.

2NOTE: Any additional software packages that must be installed can be accomplished using this method.

3NOTE: You must manually load the USB driver.

4NOTE: Not available on a BL20p G1.

5NOTE: Only with an integrated operating system CD.

Using iLO Virtual Media Devices

To use iLO Virtual Media devices, select Virtual Media on the Virtual Devices tab. An applet loads in support of the Virtual Floppy or Virtual CD-ROM device.

iLO Virtual Floppy

The iLO Virtual Floppy disk is available at server boot time for all operating systems. Booting from the iLO Virtual Floppy enables you to upgrade the host system ROM, deploy an operating system from network drives, and perform disaster recovery of failed operating systems, among other tasks.

If the host server operating system supports USB mass storage devices, then the iLO Virtual Floppy is also available after the host server operating system loads. You can use the iLO Virtual Floppy when the host server operating system is running to upgrade device drivers, create an emergency repair diskette, and perform other tasks. Having the Virtual Floppy available when the server is running can be especially useful if the administrator must diagnose and repair a problem with the NIC driver.

The Virtual Floppy can be the physical floppy drive on which you are running the Web browser, or an image file stored on your local hard drive or network drive. For maximum performance, HP recommends the use of local image files stored either on the hard drive of your client PC or on a network drive accessible through a high-speed network link.

To use a physical floppy drive in your client PC:

1.Select Local Floppy Drive.

2.Select the drive letter of the desired physical floppy drive on your client PC from the dropdown menu.
