Deploying Your Operating System Using iVMCLI 329
This parameter provides iDRAC6 IP address and SSL port, which the utility
needs to establish a Virtual Media connection with the target iDRAC6. If you
enter an invalid IP address or DDNS name, an error message displays and the
command terminates.
<iDRAC-IP-address> is a valid, unique IP address or iDRAC6 Dynamic
Domain Naming System (DDNS) name (if supported). If <iDRAC-SSL-
port> is omitted, port 443 (the default port) is used. The optional SSL port is
not required unless you change iDRAC6 default SSL port.
iDRAC6 User Name
-u <iDRAC-user-name>
This parameter provides iDRAC6 user name that will run Virtual Media.
The <iDRAC-user-name> must have the following attributes:
• Valid user name
• iDRAC6 Virtual Media User permission
If iDRAC6 authentication fails, an error message displays and the command
terminates.
iDRAC6 User Password
-p <iDRAC-user-password>
This parameter provides the password for the specified iDRAC6 user.
If iDRAC6 authentication fails, an error message displays and the command
terminates.
Floppy/Disk Device or Image File
-f {<device-name> | <image-file>}
where <device-name> is a valid drive letter (for Windows systems) or a valid
device file name, including the mountable file system partition number, if
applicable (for Linux systems); and <image-file> is the filename and path of
a valid image file.
This parameter specifies the device or file to supply the virtual floppy/disk
media.
For example, an image file is specified as:
-f c:\temp\myfloppy.img (Windows system)
