RILO2 Board in DL380G2 will not Boot from virtuell CD

Hense, Klaus — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 05:50:36 GMT

I have DL380G2 Servers with RILO2 Boards. I Can not boot from the virtuell CD (Smartstart). Booting from Floppy is OK.
All Bios and Firmware are new.

With DL380G3 with ILO it is no Problem!

Is this a Failure or is it not supportet?

Hi, an piece of marketing info for RILO2

NOTE: Booting a remote server from USB-based Virtual Floppy and CD requires server hardware and ROM support of these USB media devices.
Recent-shipping ProLiant servers include hardware support of USB media devices and need only a ROM update to support booting from a USB device. This support will be available via future ROM upgrades for USB-enabled servers and will be a standard feature of newer servers

So sheck if your server has the latest rom...

ProLiant DL380 G2
ProLiant ML330 G2
ProLiant ML350 G2
ProLiant ML370 G2
All other USB-based Virtual Media features are supported on these servers.
