Connecting scripted media for groups
Prerequisites
• An iLO license that supports this feature is installed.
• Each member of the selected iLO Federation group has granted the Virtual Media privilege to the
group.
Procedure
1.
Click
iLO Federation
in the navigation tree, and then click the
Group Virtual Media
tab.
2.
Select a group from the
Selected Group
menu.
The scripted media you connect will be available to all systems in the selected group.
3.
Enter the URL for the scripted media disk image in the
Scripted Media URL
box in the
Connect
Virtual Floppy
section (IMG files) or the
Connect CD/DVD-ROM
section (ISO files).
4.
Select the
Boot on Next Reset
check box if you want the servers in the group to boot to this disk
image only on the next server reboot.
The image will be ejected automatically on the second server reboot so that the servers do not boot to
it twice.
If this check box is not selected, the image remains connected until it is manually ejected, and the
servers boot to it on all subsequent server resets, if the system boot options are configured
accordingly.
If a server in the group is in POST when you enable the
Boot on Next Reset
check box, an error
occurs because you cannot modify the server boot order during POST. Wait for POST to finish, and
then try again.
5.
Click
Insert Media
.
iLO displays the command results.
