Connecting scripted media
You can connect scripted media from the Virtual Media page. Use the .NET IRC or Java IRC,
RIBCL/XML, or the iLO CLI to connect other types of Virtual Media. The Virtual Media page
supports the connection of 1.44 MB floppy images (IMG) and CD/DVD-ROM images (ISO). The
image must be on a web server on the same network as iLO.
1. Navigate to the Virtual Media→Virtual Media page.
2. Enter the URL for the scripted media in the Scripted Media URL box in the Connect Virtual
Floppy (IMG files) or Connect CD/DVD-ROM section (ISO files).
3. On ProLiant Gen8 servers only: Select the Boot on Next Reset check box if you want the
server to boot to this image only on the next server reboot.
The image will be ejected automatically on the second server reboot so that the server does
not boot to this image twice.
If this check box is not selected, the image remains connected until it is manually ejected,
and the server boots to it on all subsequent server resets, if the system boot options are
configured accordingly.
