Using and Configuring Virtual Media 199
VM-CLI Parameters
DRAC 5 IP Address
-r <RAC-IP-address>[:<RAC-SSL-port>]
where <RAC-IP-address> is a valid, unique IP address or the DRAC 5
Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS) name (if supported).
This parameter provides the DRAC 5 IP address and SSL port. The VM-CLI
utility needs this information to establish a Virtual Media connection with
the target DRAC 5. If you enter an invalid IP address or DDNS name, an error
message appears and the command is terminated.
If <RAC-SSL-port> is omitted, port 443 (the default port) is used. The
optional SSL port is not required unless you change the DRAC 5 default SSL
port.
DRAC 5 User Name
-u <DRAC-user-name>
This parameter provides the DRAC 5 user name that will run Virtual Media.
The <DRAC-user-name> must have the following attributes:
• Valid user name
• DRAC Virtual Media User permission
If DRAC 5 authentication fails, an error message appears and the command is
terminated.
DRAC User Password
-p <DRAC-user-password>
This parameter provides the password for the specified DRAC 5 user.
If DRAC 5 authentication fails, an error message displays and the command
terminates.
Floppy/Disk Device or Image File
-f {<device-name> | <image-file>}
