virtual media and vsp
I would like to use the vsp console to do firmware updates using the firmware maintenance dvd.
What I did:
- ssh to blade
- vm cdrom insert http://
- vm cdrom set boot_once
- power reset
- vsp
In the vsp console, I can see the server booting from hard drive instead of the mounted image. Also, keyboard input doesn't seem to work (I can't enter the bios using esc+9...)
I checked the boot order settings using the remote console, cdrom is at number one.
Can anyone help me with this?

Re: virtual media and vsp
When I mount the image from an ssh session with the above commands, the server seems to ignore it at boot.
So the problem I have here is not the automatic or interactive option on the firmware dvd, since I can not boot the dvd when I mount it from an ssh session.
Do you know how I can mount the dvd from an ssh session?
This is wat vm cdrom get shows me:
hpiLO-> vm cdrom get
VM Applet = Disconnected
Boot Option = NO_BOOT
Write Protect = Yes
Image Inserted = Disconnected
Image URL = None

Re: virtual media and vsp
You must do:
- ssh to blade
- vm cdrom insert http://
vm cdrom set connect
#! to connect the virtual media.
- vm cdrom set boot_once
- power reset
- vsp

Re: virtual media and vsp
Thanks, this works perfectly :-)
What I was doing now is this (part of perl script):
$result = qx(ssh -l Administrator $enclosure "poweroff server $blade");
$result = qx(ssh -l Administrator $enclosure "hponcfg $blade ftp://
$result = qx(ssh -l Administrator $enclosure "hponcfg $blade ftp://192.168.35.141/scripting/Set_VM_Status.xml");
$result = qx(ssh -l Administrator $enclosure "show server dvd $blade");
$result = qx(ssh -l Administrator $enclosure "poweron server $blade");
This seems to work fine in 90% of the cases, the other 10% of the blades don't boot the iso if it's mounted this way (it works fine the other way, provided by Mark Ashley).
Does anyone know the reason for this?
