Creating iLO 2 disk image files
The iLO 2 virtual media feature enables you to create diskette and CD-ROM image files within the
same applet. Creation of DVD image files using the Virtual Media applet is not supported. The
image files created from the applet are ISO-9660 file system images. The performance of iLO 2
virtual media is faster when image files are used. The utility to create iLO 2 Virtual Floppy and
CD-ROM disk image files is integrated into the Virtual Media applet; however, images can also
be created using industry-standard tools, such as DD.
To create an image file:
1. Click Create Disk Image.
2. Select the local media drive from the dropdown menu.
3. Enter the path or file name in the text box or click Browse to select an existing image file or
to change the directory in which the image file is created.
4. Click Create. The virtual media applet begins the process of creating the image file. The
process is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. To cancel the creation of an image
file, click Cancel.
The Disk>>Image option is used to create image files from physical diskettes or CD-ROMs. The
Image>>Disk option is not valid for a Virtual CD-ROM image. The Disk>>Image button changes
to Image>>Disk when clicked. Use this button to switch from creating image files from physical
diskettes to creating physical floppy diskettes from image files.
Virtual folder
The iLO 2 Virtual Folder emulates a USB device, dynamically creating a media image of a selected
folder or directory. After creating a virtual image of a folder or directory, the server connects to
the created image as a USB storage device, enabling you to browse to the server and transfer the
files from the iLO 2 generated image to any location on the server.
The Virtual Folder feature is only available within the IRC. The virtual folder is non-bootable,
read-only, and the mounted folder is static. Changes to the client file are not replicated in the
mounted folder.
Virtual Folder is a licensed feature available with the purchase of iLO 2 Advanced or iLO 2 Select.
The virtual folder feature enables you to access, browse, and transfer files from a client to a
managed server. The virtual folder feature supports the ability to mount and dismount a directory
