GET_VM_STATUS parameters

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

the DEVICE is not specified, FLOPPY is assumed. These values are not case-sensitive.

GET_VM_STATUS runtime errors

The possible GET_VM_STATUS error is:

An invalid Virtual Media option has been given.

GET_VM_STATUS return messages

The return message displays the current state of the Virtual Media. The VM_APPLET parameter

shows if a virtual media device is already connected through the Integrated Remote Console, Java

Integrated Remote Console, or the iLO 4 graphical interface. If the VM_APPLET = CONNECTED,

then the (non-URL based) Virtual Media is already in use and cannot be connected through scriptable

Virtual Media or Virtual Media XML commands.

NOTE: Only URL-based Virtual Media can be connected through scriptable Virtual Media or

Virtual Media XML. However, URL-based Virtual Media will display as DISCONNECTED through

VM_APPLET even if an URL-based VM is configured via the iLO, Integrated Remote Console, Java

Integrated Remote Console, CLI, or RIBCL.

The DEVICE parameter tells which device this return message is for. The BOOT_OPTION shows

the current setting; BOOT_ALWAYS means that the server always use the Virtual Media device for

booting, BOOT_ONCE means that the server boots to the Virtual Device once and then disconnects

the Virtual Media on the subsequent server reboot, and NO_BOOT means that the Virtual Media

does not connect during a server reboot. The WRITE_PROTECT_FLAG parameter shows if the

Virtual Media image can be written to. The IMAGE_INSERTED parameter tells if the Virtual Media

device is connected via the scriptable Virtual Media or the Virtual Media XML command.

A possible GET_VM_STATUS return message is:

VM_APPLET = CONNECTED | DISCONNECTED

DEVICE = FLOPPY | CDROM

BOOT_OPTION = BOOT_ALWAYS | BOOT_ONCE | NO_BOOT

WRITE_PROTECT_FLAG = YES | NO

IMAGE_INSERTED = YES | NO

NOTE: If the BOOT_ONCE boot option is selected, all scriptable virtual media parameters are

reset to default settings after the server boots. Specifically BOOT_OPTION = NO_BOOT,

WRITE_PROTECT = NO, and IMAGE_INSERTED = NO.

SET_VM_STATUS

The SET_VM_STATUS command sets the Virtual Media drive status. This command must appear

within a RIB_INFO element, and RIB_INFO must be set to write. All the parameters in the command

are optional. You must purchase the iLO Advanced license to enable this feature.

For example:

<RIB_INFO MODE="write">
