80 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out

The XML commands enable you to configure Virtual Media in the same manner as the Virtual Media applet. The one exception is that the actual image will be located on a Web server with which the iLO can communicate with through the management network. After the image location is configured, the iLO will use the new firmware functionality to execute the USB or SCSI protocol with the Web server. Virtual Media scripting does not support composite devices. Only single Virtual Media devices (either Virtual Media Floppy OR Virtual Media CD-ROM) are supported.

HPLOVM.EXE is a new scripting utility that enables you to script insert, eject, and set boot options for Virtual Media devices. HPLOVM is intended to be used in place of the VFLOP.exe utility which is part of the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.

Command line syntax:

HPLOVM [-device <floppy cdrom>] [-insert <url>] [- eject] [-wp <y n>]

[-boot <once always never>] [-mgmt <ilo riloe>] [- ver] [-?]
