HP Integrated Lights-Out 69

Using iLO

69

The iLO Virtual Floppy appears to your operating system just like any other floppy. When using iLO for the first time, the host operating system may prompt you to complete a New Hardware Found wizard.

When you are finished using iLO virtual media and disconnect it, you might receive a warning message from the host operating system regarding unsafe removal of a device. This warning can be avoided by using the operating system- provided feature to stop the device before disconnecting it from the Virtual Media.

Virtual Media Floppy Operating Systems Notes

•MS-DOS®

During boot and during an MS-DOS® session, the Virtual Floppy device displays as a standard BIOS floppy drive. This device will display as A:. An existing physically attached floppy drive is obscured and unavailable during this time. You cannot use a physical local floppy drive and the Virtual Floppy simultaneously.

•Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, and Windows® Server 2003

The Virtual Floppy displays automatically after Microsoft® Windows® has recognized the mounting of the USB device. Use it as you would a locally attached floppy device.

•NetWare 5.x or 6

USB virtual media devices are not currently supported on the NetWare5.x or 6 operating systems.

•NetWare 6.5

NetWare 6.5 supports the use of USB Virtual Floppy. Refer to "Mounting USB Virtual Floppy in NetWare 6.5 (on page 69)" for step-by-step instructions.

•Red Hat and SLES Linux

Linux supports the use of USB Virtual Floppy. Refer to "Mounting USB Virtual Media Floppy in Linux (on page 70)" for step-by-step instructions.
