HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 User Guide

IMPORTANT: Use these tools to define the network configuration parameters before running
any other tool that uses virtual media, especially Initiate Bare Metal Discovery.
Usually, network configuration is performed in two stages:
• In the first stage, you define the network configuration parameters and store them under a
network name. You can have as many network name definitions as you want.
• In the second stage, you use the Network Configuration Editor to apply the predefined
network names to the server's management processor.
These tools are discussed in “Using the Define Networks tool” (page 29) and “Using the Network
Configuration Editor” (page 31), respectively.
2.2 Preparing for virtual media
Preparing for virtual media consists of three activities:
• “Discovering the management processor with HP SIM” (page 26)
• “Creating a user account and enabling virtual media on the management processor” (page 28)
• “Licensing virtual media on the management processor” (page 29)
NOTE: If a server's NIC is on a private (physical) network, but the server's iLO is on a public
(physical) network, you must edit the /opt/mx/icle/icle.properties file so that the iLO
can mount the bootable ISO image file from the CMS. Add the following line to the
icle.properties file:
VIRTUAL_MEDIA_REPOSITORY_IP=CMS_ext_IP
Where CMS_ext_IP is the external IP address of the CMS.
