Can't mount iLO virtual media: unrecognized file system

[vilius_m]

Trying to mount iLOv2 virtual media.
After connecting virtual media I see new device:

# ioscan -fnC disk
Class     I  H/W Path     Driver S/W State   H/W Type     Description
=====================================================================
disk      4  255/1/0.1.0  sdisk   CLAIMED     DEVICE       HP      Virtual CD-ROM
                         /dev/dsk/c3t1d0   /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0

When I try to mount I get error:

# mount /dev/dsk/c3t1d0 /root/cdrom
/dev/dsk/c3t1d0: unrecognized file system
#
# mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c3t1d0 /root/cdrom
/dev/dsk/c3t1d0: unrecognized file system

I downloaded iso file from HP and used it to install THIS OS via same iLOv2 - so I know iso and iLO are OK.

What I'm doing wrong ?

Thats iLOv2 problem - just tried same iso on iLOv3 virtual media - all works just file..

[vilius_m]

I have identical iLOv2 server with older HP-UX patch level, and different fileset selection - and it mounts same iso just fine.
Machine with problem is basically default install of newest HP-UX core media.
And it not only fails to mount virtual media - it also fails to remove virtual media device after "Disconnect" button is clicked - that device is removed after I reset iLO.

Maybe I'm missing some filesets ?
Or should I use older HP-UX patch level install ?

Hello vilius_m,

This is more to do with iLO / system firmware rather than the OS installed in server .
Please compare the firmware of those servers , where it is working  & not working and see if non-working has OLD firmware .
You may check the quick specs / related information of this server , and see if you have the latest revision of firmware (system/iLO).

It's not firmware - both working and not iLOv2 servers have same final firmware.
It's HP-UX release (patch level?) - I did few installations and figured that v2005 and all below releases mount CDs just fine,  while v2105 and v2205 have this problem (my guess it's happening only with iLOv2).

Hello vilius_m,

It could be iLOv2 which may be causing this .

You may try mounting the new OE (2105 & 2205) images in any newer iLO (v3 or above) and see if this works.
