HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line Guide

• filename is mandatory.

• cgi-helper is optional. This enables the virtual floppy to be writable.

In addition, the filename field can contain tokens that expand to host-specific strings:

• %m expands to the iLO 3 MAC address.

• %i expands to the iLO 3 IP address in dotted-quad form.

• %h expands to the iLO 3 hostname.

For example:

http://john:abc123@imgserver.company.com/disk/win98dos.bin,/cgi-bin/

hpvfhelp.pl

http://imgserver.company.com/disk/boot%m.bin

This command specifies only the location of the image to be used. For the image to be connected

to the server, the appropriate BOOT_OPTION must be specified using the SET_VM_STATUS

command. If BOOT_OPTION is set to BOOT_ONCE and the server is rebooted, any subsequent

server reboots eject the image.

INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA runtime errors

The possible INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA error messages include:

• RIB information is open for read-only access. Write access is

required for this operation.

• IMAGE_URL must not be blank.

• User does not have correct privilege for action. VIRTUAL_MEDIA_PRIV

required.

• Unable to parse Virtual Media URL

• An invalid Virtual Media option has been given.

• Virtual Media already connected through a script. You must eject or

disconnect before inserting new media.

EJECT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA

EJECT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA ejects the Virtual Media image if one is inserted. The EJECT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA

command must display within a RIB_INFO element and RIB_INFO must be in write mode. You must

purchase the iLO Advanced license to enable this feature.

For example:

<RIB_INFO MODE="write">

<EJECT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA DEVICE="FLOPPY"/>

</RIB_INFO>

</LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

EJECT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA parameters

DEVICE specifies the Virtual Media device target. The possible values are FLOPPY or CDROM. If

the DEVICE is not specified, FLOPPY is assumed. This value is case-sensitive.
