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.
