obscured and unavailable during this time. You cannot use a physical local floppy drive and
the Virtual Floppy simultaneously.
• Windows Server 2008 or later and Windows Server 2003
Virtual Floppy and USB key drives appear automatically after Microsoft Windows has
recognized the mounting of the USB device. Use it as you would a locally attached device.
To use Virtual Floppy during a Windows installation as a driver diskette, disable the integrated
diskette drive in the host RBSU which forces the Virtual Floppy to appear as drive A.
To use Virtual USBKey during a Windows installation as a driver diskette, change the boot
order of the USB key drive in the system RBSU. HP recommends placing the USB key drive
first in the boot order.
• Windows Vista
Virtual media does not work correctly on Windows Vista using Internet Explorer 7 with Protected
Mode enabled. If you attempt to use virtual media with Protected Mode enabled, various error
messages appear, including could not open cdrom (the parameter is incorrect.
To use virtual media, click Tools/Internet Options/Security, clear Enable Protected Mode, then
click Apply. After disabling Protected Mode, you must close all open browser instances and
restart the browser.
• NetWare 6.5
NetWare 6.5 supports the use of USB diskette and key drives. For step-by-step instructions,
see “Mounting USB Virtual Floppy/USBKey in NetWare 6.5” (page 107).
• Red Hat and SUSE Linux
Linux supports the use of USB diskette and key drives. For step-by-step instructions, see
“Mounting USB Virtual Media/USBKey in Linux” (page 108).
Operating system USB support
To use virtual media devices your operating system must have support for USB devices. Your
operating system must also support USB mass storage devices. Currently, Windows Server 2008,
Windows 2003, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5, SUSE SLES 9, and SUSE SLES 10 support USB devices. Other operating systems can also support
USB mass storage devices.
During system boot, the ROM BIOS will provide the USB support until the operating system loads.
Since MS-DOS uses the BIOS to communicate with storage devices, utility diskettes that boot DOS
will also function with virtual media.
NOTE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not allow you to provide a driver diskette using virtual
media.
Mounting USB Virtual Floppy/USBKey in NetWare 6.5
1. Access iLO 2 through a browser.
2. Select Virtual Media in the Virtual Devices tab.
3. Insert the media into the local floppy drive, select a diskette drive, and click Connect.
Alternatively, select a diskette image to be used and click Connect.
In NetWare 6.5, use the lfvmount command on the server console to assign the device a drive
letter.
The NetWare 6.5 operating system will pick the first available drive letter for the Virtual Floppy
drive. The volumes command can now be used by the server console to show the mount status
of this new drive.
