vMedia Functionality on Server Blades and Rack-Mounted Servers
Administrators can easily transfer data to the managed system from the web (Apache or IIS) server
containing the vMedia ISO images. On the client side, the web (Apache or IIS) server is running
and the ISO images are stored so they can be accessed over HTTP.
NOTE: HTTPS is currently not supported through the SM CLP interface.
The drives (connected ISO images) on the client side appear as local drives (USB CD Read-only)
on the managed server. With the help of vMedia, the server can boot from the DVD, CD, or image
on the client, perform OS and applications installation on the server from the client’s drives or data
transfer, and so on.
To access the SM CLP interface, enter SMCLP at the MP Main menu after you login.
Target: map1/oemhp_vm1/cddr1
The cddr1 target represents the virtual CD-ROM device.

Using Scriptable vMedia on Server Blades and Rack-Mounted Servers
The following examples show actions you can perform using SM CLP for vMedia on server blades
and on rack-mounted servers.
Change the current context to point to the SMCLP target representing the virtual the CD drive
–> cd / map1 / oemhp_vm1 / cddr1
Display / map1 / oemhp_vm1 / cddr1 target properties and show the current status to verify
that the media is not in use
–> show
Insert the desired image into the drive
–> set oemhp_image=http://<Apache server ip address>/cgi-bin/ISO/install_disk1.iso
Connect to the media
–> set / oemhp_connect=yes
