D2: Remote ISO-image

HP’s iLO and iLO2 not only allow you to connect a DVD drive from the local PC, you can also

mount a directory that holds an ISO image. This directory need not be a directory on the PC, it

could be a mapped network drive. This means the installation runs directly from a foreign ISO-

store onto the ESX server. There is no need to copy any data first. Note that the network can slow

down the installation process.

The procedure is similar to D1: Remote DVD, but instead of a local Media Drive, select a local

ISO image file. There are two possible sources: an ISO image created from the DVD B6960-

15001, and the ISO image B6960-15003.iso which you can download from the web. See

Appendix A: “DVDs and downloadable bits”.

 With iLO:

Click “Connect”.

If the connection works properly, the drive logo becomes green.

The mount and installations steps are similar to D1: LOCAL DVD

 With iLO2 using the “Integrated Remote Console” you can mount an ISO image directly from a

directory. The following screen shows the top right corner of the Console window. Click on the

drive symbol to open the selection menu. For example, click Mount next to a folder symbol to

browse the local system and select an ISO image.
