This is frustrating. I followed https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00096909en_us as well as the cmdled examples. I can not find out howto mount an ISO file on a Win jumphost, change the one time boot order and boot the ISO.
Server: DL380Gen10 in UEFI mode, Local System where I run the commands : Win 2016 Server with a minima Webserver
$connection | Mount-HPEiLOVirtualMedia -ImageURL http://localhost/mt531b.iso -Device CD
($connection |Get-HPEiLOVirtualMediaStatus).VirtualMediaInformation

VMWriteProtect : Enabled
VMBootOption :ConnectedVia : URI

ImageName : mt531b.iso
ImageURL : http://localhost/mt531b.iso <-------- the image on webserver
VMWriteProtect : Enabled
VMBootOption : NoBoot

Next I tried bootoption CD (I guess that Legacy not UEFI)
$connection | Set-HPEiLOOneTimeBootOption -BootSourceOverrideEnable Continuous -BootSourceOverrideTarget CD
BootSourceOverrideEnable : Continuous
BootSourceOverrideMode : UEFI
BootSourceOverrideTarget : CD
BootSourceOverrideTargetSupportedValues : {None, CD, HDD, USB...}

UEFITargetBootSourceOverrideSupportedValues : {UsbClass(0xFFFF,0xFFFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF), PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x13,0x0),
PciRoot(0x3)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Scsi(0x0,0x0), PciRoot(0x3)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Scsi(0x0,0x1)...}

then the UEFI device ID for the virtual CD

StatusInfo :
In both cases the server ends up trying PXE boot. I don't even see the attempt to boot from ISO. I was also not able to use the one time boot options in ILO GUI (I thought reverse engenieering would work...) with the ISO mounted from an URL.
Mounting the ISO in ILO as image and changing the one time boot option works. But I want to automate this, so I need to do this from powershell or any other scripting tool that is available.
Hi,
Is the Image url accessible? Can you please try the same in the GUI and check if it works?
The url http://localhost/mt531b.iso must have an IP address that is accessible from the iLO. In this case, localhost will not be resolved by the cmdlet and the iso image will not be available to the iLO hence it fails to boot the iso.

Hi,
One time BootOption can be set using the below command
$result = $connection | Set-HPEiLOOneTimeBootOption -BootSourceOverrideTarget CD
And the server can be reset after setting the One time boot option using the below command
$result = $connection | Reset-HPEiLO -Device Server

Hi
May I know if it worked?
Else we would request you to log a Case with HPE since it may needs high expertise.
Thank you
