INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA

This command notifies iLO of the location of a diskette image. The INSERT_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">

<INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA DEVICE="FLOPPY" IMAGE_URL="http://188.188.188.33/

images/Floppy/dos.bin" />

<!-- <INSERT_VIRTUAL_FLOPPY IMAGE_LOCATION = "c:\tools\test.img"/>

-->

</RIB_INFO>

</LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

INSERT_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.

IMAGE_URL specifies the URL for the diskette image. The URL format is as follows:

protocol://username:password@hostname:port/filename,cgi-helper

• protocol is mandatory and must be either http or https.

• username:password is optional.

• hostname is mandatory.

• port is optional.

• 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 MAC address.

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

• %h expands to the 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.
