Linux And Windows - HP Integrity BL860c Quick Start

To access iLO 2 vMedia devices, follow these steps:
1. After you access iLO 2, click Web Administration to access the web interface.
2. Enter Admin in the User Name field, and enter Admin in the Password field.
Important For security purposes, HP recommends changing the default login.
3. Click the Virtual Media tab, and click Launch to load the vMedia applet and connect to the
available USB CD/DVD devices. The vMedia applet must remain open when using a virtual
media device.
4. Select Local Media Drive and select the drive letter of the physical CD/DVD drive on your
client system from the menu.
Click Connect. The connected drive displays as the local CD drive on the host server. Use
this drive to boot or install an OS. When connected, virtual devices are available to the host
server until you close the vMedia applet or sign out of the web session.
5. When you finish using the virtual CD/DVD drive, disconnect the device from the host server
or close the applet.
On servers without a locally attached CD/DVD drive, such as the BL c‐Class server blades, the
virtual CD/DVD is the first CD/DVD accessible at /dev/cdrom. Mount the virtual CD/DVD as a
normal CD/DVD device using the following command: mount /mnt/cdrom1.
If the host server operating system supports USB mass storage devices, the iLO 2 virtual CD/DVD is
also available after the host server operating system loads. You can use the iLO 2 virtual CD/DVD
when the host server operating system is running to upgrade device drivers, install software, and
perform other tasks.
For more information on vMedia, see the HP Integrity Integrated Lights‐Out 2 Operations Guide.
Linux and Windows
You can use VGA to connect consoles that use Linux® and Windows® operating systems, but the
VGA port does not connect to iLO 2. Ensure that the proper graphics monitor path is specified in
the EFI Boot Manager Console Configuration menu. To configure an ASCII console configured in
Linux or Windows, use the EFI Boot Manager Console Configuration menu.
For Linux information on changing the default console and using the EFI Boot Manager
Configuration Options, see Configuring Your Console in Installing Linux on HP Integrity Servers
