HP Integrity iLO 2 MP 5991-6005 manual Using iLO 2 MP Virtual Media Devices

Using iLO 2 MP Virtual Media Devices

Connect client-based vMedia to a host HP Integrity server through a graphical interface using a signed Java applet. Refusing to accept the applet certificate prevents browser-based vMedia from functioning (a red X appears). It also prevents the remote console applet from functioning because it is also signed using the same certificate.

The vMedia functionality is part of the iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack feature set and is enabled by purchasing the optional iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license and granting the vMedia right. If not licensed, the message “iLO 2 feature not licensed” appears. For more information, see “Advanced Pack License” (page 23).

NOTE: You can use the vMedia applet only on x86 clients.

To access the iLO 2 MP vMedia devices using the graphical interface, follow these steps:

1.From the Virtual Devices tab, select Virtual Media. The Virtual Media page appears (Figure 6-11)

Figure 6-11 Virtual Media Page

2.Click Launch to load the vMedia applet. The vMedia applet loads in support of the vMedia device.

3.At this point, you can connect to a virtual CD/DVD or virtual floppy/USB key device or create an iLO 2 MP disk image file.
