The connected drive icon and LED changes to reflect the current status of the Virtual Floppy or USB key
drive. When connected, the virtual devices are available to the host server until you close the Virtual
Media applet. When you are finished using the Virtual Floppy/USBKey, you can either choose to
disconnect the device from the host server or close the applet.
NOTE: The Virtual Media applet must remain open in your browser as long as you continue to
use a Virtual Media Device.
iLO Virtual Floppy/USBKey is available to the host server at run time if the operating system on the host
server supports USB floppy or key drives. See "Operating System USB Support (on page 93)" for
information about which operating systems currently support USB mass storage.
iLO Virtual Floppy/USBKey appears on your operating system just like any other drive. When using iLO
for the first time, the host operating system might prompt you to complete a New Hardware Found
wizard.
When you are finished using iLO Virtual Media and disconnect it, you might receive a warning message
from the host operating system regarding unsafe removal of a device. This warning can be avoided by
using the feature available through the operating system to stop the device before disconnecting it from
the Virtual Media.
Virtual Floppy/USB Key operating systems notes
MS-DOS
During boot and MS-DOS sessions, the Virtual Floppy device appears as a standard BIOS floppy
drive. This device appears as drive A. If a physically attached floppy drive exists, is obscured and
unavailable during this time. You cannot use a physical local floppy drive and the Virtual Floppy
simultaneously.
Windows® 2000 SP3 or later and Windows Server™ 2003
Virtual Floppy and USB key drives appear automatically after Microsoft® Windows® has
recognized the mounting of the USB device. Use it as you would a locally attached device.
To use Virtual Floppy during a Windows® installation as a driver diskette, disable the integrated
diskette drive in the host RBSU which forces the Virtual Floppy to appear as drive A.
To use Virtual USBKey during a Windows® installation as a driver diskette, change the boot order of
the USB key drive in the system RBSU. HP recommends placing the USB key drive first in the boot
order.
Windows Vista™
Virtual media does not work correctly on Windows Vista™ using Internet Explorer 7 with Protected
Mode enabled. If you attempt to use virtual media with Protected Mode enabled, various error
messages appear, including could not open cdrom (the parameter is incorrect. To
use virtual media, click Tools/Internet Options/Security, clear Enable Protected Mode, then click
Apply. After disabling Protected Mode, you must close all open browser instances and restart the
browser.
