HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide

IMPORTANT: Before connecting a DVD to a virtual partition, the iLO rootport (or ioslot)
from any of the blades in the nPartition must be assigned to the target virtual partition.
NOTE: The DVD module is disconnected from a partition when the partition is shutdown
or rebooted. The DVD module may only be connected to a partition if there is a disk in the
drive.
• Access level/Bay level:
OA Administrator, OA Operator
• Restriction:
You must be connected to the monarch OA.
From the GUI
The Virtual Media (vMedia) feature provides a virtual floppy disk, USB Key, or DVD. This allows
an HP Superdome 2 partition to boot and use standard media on the network to which the iLO
on a blade is connected. vMedia is also the mechanism used to give partitions access to the
enclosure DVD drive.
To connect to the enclosure DVD drive, the partition should be active. Select the Virtual Devices
tab and click on the Connect to Enclosure DVD button.
