Deploying Your Operating System Using iVMCLI 341
If the remote system accepts the commands and iDRAC6 authorizes the
connection, the command continues to run until either of the following
occurs:
• The iVMCLI 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.
NOTE: When you are using the iVMCLI command, if the parameter values have
spaces between words, you must use quotes for the complete parameter value. For
example, consider the command to attach a DVD image from your system to the
operating system on the server:
F:\idrac>ivmcli -r 10.35.155.117 -u root -p calvin -c c:\documents and
settings\user\my documents\work\devel\omsa\img_hdd1.iso
where, -c is one of the parameters and c:\documents and settings\user\my
documents\work\devel\omsa\img_hdd1.iso is the parameter value that contain
spaces for ’documents and settings’ and ’my documents’. Therefore, quotes is used
for the complete image file path. Without the quotes, the command will fail. The
following is also invalid:
C:\”documents and settings”\......\
iVMCLI Parameters
iDRAC6 IP Address
-r <iDRAC-IP-address>[:<iDRAC-SSL-port>]
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.
