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

• The protocol field is mandatory and must be either http or https.
• The username:password field is optional.
• The hostname field is mandatory.
• The port field is optional.
• The filename field is mandatory.
• The cgi-helper field is optional.

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.

Examples:

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.
