HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line Guide

Virtual Media device connected, on the subsequent server reboot, the Virtual Media device
does not connect and the following Virtual Media device settings reset to their default values:
◦ BOOT_OPTION=NO_BOOT
◦ IMAGE_INSERTED = NO
• NO_BOOT sets the VM_BOOT_OPTION to NO_BOOT. The Virtual Media device is not
connected during the next server boot. The Virtual Media device is not disconnected
immediately when the VM_BOOT_OPTION is set. The Virtual Media device is disconnected
on the next server boot following the setting of the VM_BOOT_OPTION. After the server has
booted, the Virtual Media device does not connect and the following Virtual Media device
settings reset to their default values:
◦ BOOT_OPTION = NO_BOOT
◦ IMAGE_INSERTED = NO
In addition to the VM_BOOT_OPTIONS, CONNECT and DISCONNECT are also possible values.
The CONNECT and DISCONNECT settings can be used to control the Virtual Media devices in
the same way that they are controlled in the Virtual Media applet. Whenever the CONNECT or
DISCONNECT parameters are set, the Virtual Media device immediately connects or disconnects,
respectively, to the server.
• CONNECT sets the VM_BOOT_OPTION to CONNECT. The Virtual Media device is
immediately connected to the server. Setting the VM_BOOT_OPTION to CONNECT is
equivalent to clicking the device Connect button on the Virtual Media Applet. After setting the
VM_BOOT_OPTION to CONNECT, the VM_GET_STATUS command shows the
VM_BOOT_OPTION as BOOT_ALWAYS. This is by design and shows that the Virtual Media
device is connected like the Virtual Media device in the applet which is always connected
during all server boots.
• DISCONNECT sets the VM_BOOT_OPTION to DISCONNECT. The Virtual Media device is
immediately disconnected from the server. Setting the VM_BOOT_OPTION to DISCONNECT
is equivalent to clicking the device Disconnect button on the Virtual Media Applet. Additionally,
setting the VM_BOOT_OPTION to DISCONNECT is equivalent to issuing the
EJECT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA command. When the VM_BOOT_OPTION is set to DISCONNECT,
the Virtual Media device does not connect and the following Virtual Media device settings
are reset to their default values:
◦ BOOT_OPTION = NO_BOOT
◦ IMAGE_INSERTED = NO
VM_WRITE_PROTECT sets the write protect flag value for the Virtual Floppy. This value is not
significant for the Virtual Media CD-ROM. The possible values are Y or N.
