To boot the Virtual Media DOS image, perform the following steps:
1. Open a web browser.
2. In the URL address, enter the BMC IP address or BMC hostname of the system you want to
boot the DOS image.
3. Log in to the BMC web interface.
The SGI factory default value for both login and password is admin.
4. Click the Virtual Media tab on the left side of screen.
5. Select CD-ROM image.
6. In the Image on Windows Share box, enter the following information:
Virtual Drive = 1
Share Host = IP-address-of-headnode-admin-network (10.0.10.1 is the SGI factory
default.)
Share Name = bios
Path to image = image-filename-to-boot (located in /BIOS dir)
User = root (SGI factory default)
Password = sgisgi (SGI factory default)
7. Click the Set button.
This ensures that the boot image is successfully set to boot.
The boot order in the BIOS has been automatically set to boot this image before any other boot
device. The image will boot at the next reboot/power cycle.
Note: You must unset this image when you are done booting on it. Otherwise, all subsequent
reboots will boot from this virtual image. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3; then click the unset button.
