Local Image File Dialog Box; Create Media Image Dialog Box - HP Integrity BL870c Operation Manual

performance of the iLO 2 vMedia is faster when image files are used. The utility to create the
iLO 2 CD/DVD disk image files is integrated into the vMedia applet.
Store image files on your client computer or on a network drive that can be accessed from the
client using a fast network segment. A disk image file produces better performance than using
a physical CD in your client computer.
To create image files from physical diskettes, CDs, or DVDs, use the Disk>>Image option. The
Image>>Disk option is not valid for a virtual CD/DVD image. The Disk>>Image button changes
to Image>>Disk when clicked.

The following procedure explains how to create an iLO 2 disk image file:
1. Select Local Image File in the Virtual CD-ROM section of the vMedia applet.
