Figure 29 Connecting an enclosure DVD to a vPar
NOTE:
• A vPar can make a DVD/vmedia connection only if it owns the I/O slot 7 of a server blade
(an assigned resource of the containing nPar). When you want to connect or disconnect DVD
to a vpar, make sure that you have assigned I/O slot 7 (iLO slot) of a blade.
After you insert the DVD, the Connect to Enclosure DVD button is enabled.
• If the Superdome 2 internal DVD drive is assigned to an nPar or vPar and the DVD tray is
opened while it is a “mounted file system” and the partition is rebooted, the DVD will not be
available to that nPar or vPar. Since this is a “virtual connection”, HPUX is not able to lock
the DVD tray door while it is a mounted file system. The ILO which was connected to the DVD
at the time of the operation requires reset in order to resume the Virtual Media connection to
the impacted nPar or vPar. To avoid this behavior always unmount the DVD prior to opening
the DVD tray and rebooting the nPar or vPar.
Or
Select Launch Virtual Media. Figure 30 (page 68) shows the Launch Virtual Media button and the
Virtual Media screen.
