Using a URL-based image file with the .NET IRC or Java IRC

You can connect the following types of URL-based media: 1.44 MB floppy disk images (IMG) and CD/DVD-ROM images (ISO).

Prerequisites

  • Remote Console privilege

  • The image file you want to use is on a web server on the same network as iLO.

Procedure
  1. Start the .NET IRC or Java IRC.
  2. Select Virtual Drives > URL Removable Media for an IMG file or Virtual Drives > URL CD-ROM/DVD for an ISO file.

    iLO prompts you to enter an image file URL.

  3. Enter the URL for the image file that you want to mount as a virtual drive, and then click Connect.

    The virtual drive activity LED does not show drive activity for URL-mounted virtual media.

  4. When you are finished using the image file, disconnect it through the server OS.

    You can also disconnect the image file by selecting Virtual Drives > Connected virtual drive.
