Integrated Lights-Out (ILO2) Virtual Media scripting question
Jean-Denis had an Integrated Lights-Out (ILO2) question:
************
Hi
I’m trying to remotely mount the dvd9.20B firmware ISO on a BL460 G6 blade server with cpqlocfg V3 and the following inputfile
<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
<LOGIN USER_LOGIN="adminuser" PASSWORD="secret">
<RIB_INFO MODE="write">
<INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA DEVICE="CDROM" IMAGE_URL="http://w.x.y.z/tmp/FW920B.ISO" />
</RIB_INFO>
</LOGIN>
</RIBCL>
When I lauch the script on my PC I get a message indicating, that script succeeded, but when I restart the blade server he doesn’t boot to the remote mounted iso, but boots on local disk instead. I have check the bios settings and don’t see what is wrong.
***************
Marc replied:
Did you apply an « iLo Advanced for BladeSystem” license on the blade server?
This kind of license permits to script “Virtual Media”.
Then Jimmy jumped in with some info:
I normally do this via an ssh CLI session. Along with mounting the image, you need to connect and set the
boot option. Using XML scripting this is done using INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA, and SET_VM_STATUS
Page 80 of the iLO scripting guide shows the syntax for SET_VM_STATUS
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02774508/c02774508.pdf
As already mentioned the Advance Pack iLO license is a requirement.
Then Chris had some advice:
You are missing the SET_VM_STATUS tag. Simply specifying the INSERT_VIRTUAL_MEDIA location, doesn’t make it a bootable device for iLO.
Any other comments or suggestions?
