Using and Configuring Virtual Media 185
All command-line syntax are case sensitive. See "VM-CLI Parameters" for
more information.
If the remote system accepts the commands and the DRAC 5 authorizes the
connection, the command continues to run until either of the following occurs:
• The VM-CLI connection terminates for any reason.
• The process is manually terminated using an operating system control. For
example, in Windows, you can use the Task Manager to terminate the
process.
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.
