HP Integrated Lights-Out manual Virtual Media CD-ROM Operating System Notes

74 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out

iLO Virtual Media CD-ROM appears to your operating system just like any other CD-ROM. 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 CD-ROM Operating System Notes

•MS-DOS®

The virtual CD-ROM is not supported in MS-DOS®.

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

The virtual CD-ROM displays automatically after Windows® has recognized the mounting of the USB device. Use it as you would a locally attached CD- ROM device.

On Windows® 2000 SP3 or later, My Computer on the host server displays an additional CD-ROM drive when the Virtual Media applet is connected. If the server operating system is up and running and you attempt to disconnect and reconnect within the Virtual Media applet, it can fail. The icon will turn green, but the additional CD-ROM drive will not display in My Computer.

To resolve this problem, reboot the host server, and, after the operating system is available, the Virtual Media CD-ROM is ready for use. This problem only occurs on servers with no physical CD-ROM drive.

•NetWare 5.x or 6

USB virtual media devices are not currently supported by this firmware release and the NetWare operating system.

•NetWare 6.5

NetWare 6.5 supports the use of USB Virtual CD-ROM. Refer to "Mounting USB Virtual Media CD in NetWare 6.5 (on page 75)" for step-by-step instructions.
