iLo2 licensing issue

Allen Huang_1 — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 23:54:18 GMT

We just installed several blades, but they are not allowing us to use the virtual media function.

hpiLO-> vm cdrom insert http://10.96.2.16/clonezilla-live-20100921-maverick.iso
An iLO 2 License key is required to use Virtual Media.

The iLo2 licensing capability should be enabled already.

How to resolve this issue as we cannot build the server until we can mount cd images.

Do You have ILO2 ADVANCED license installed ? IF not the virtual media over HTTP won't work.

No, we don't have iLO2 advanced license installed. We thought virtual KVM and virtual media come as standard, is it not?

Is there anywhere on HP site where we can obtain a temporary or trial version of the Advanced iLO2 license key first?

Here You can find the temp. license

You can get it for 60 days.

Virtual media and KVM is standard in blades, but virtual media over HTTP is not.
