Vmedia Functionality On Server Blades And Rack-Mounted Servers - HP Integrity BL870c Operation Manual

2. Verify that IIS can access the MIME type for the files you are serving. For example, if you
name your diskette images with the extension .img, you must add a MIME type for that
extension. Use the IIS Manager to access the Properties dialog of your website. On the HTTP
Headers tab, click MIME Types to add additional MIME types.
HP recommends you add the following types:
.img – application/octet-stream
.iso – application/octet-stream
3. Browse to the location of your images with a web browser, and download them to a client.
Your web server is configured properly for serving read-only diskette and CD images.
To configure IIS to serve diskette images for read/write operations, follow these steps:
1. Install Perl (if necessary). Active State's ActivePerl is an installer program that also sets itself
up to be a script interpreter for IIS. You can obtain it from the web at:
www.activestate.com/
2. Create a directory on your web site to hold the vMedia helper script, and copy the script to
that location.
3. To create an application directory, use the properties page for your directory. Under
Application Settings, click Create.
The icon for your directory in IIS Manager should change from a folder to a gear.
4. Set Execute Permissions to Scripts Only.
5. Verify that Perl is set up as a script interpreter. To view the application associations, click
Configuration on the properties page. Verify that Perl is configured as follows:
.pl c:\perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s GET,HEAD,POST
6. Verify your Web Service Extensions allows Perl scripts to execute. If not, click Web Service
Extensions, and set Perl CGI Extension to Allowed.
7. Verify the prefix variable in the helper script is set correctly. You can set it to the same path
as your document root, which can be similar to C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

vMedia Functionality on Server Blades and Rack-Mounted Servers

Administrators can easily transfer data to the managed system from the web (Apache or IIS)
server containing the vMedia ISO images. On the client side, the web (Apache or IIS) server is
running and the ISO images are stored so they can be accessed over HTTP.
NOTE: HTTPS is currently not supported through the SM CLP interface.
The drives (connected ISO images) on the client side appear as local drives (USB CD Read-only)
on the managed server. With the help of vMedia, the server can boot from the DVD, CD, or image
on the client, perform OS and applications installation on the server from the client's drives or
data transfer, and so on.
To access the SM CLP interface, enter SMCLP at the MP Main menu after you login.
