Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
I use ilo, web virtual media option.
Are you suggesting having iso image on USB and then connecting via ilo virtual media usb drive option?

Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
If the question becomes, "how do I get the best performance from virtual media", the approach can vary.
The document, "Planning and configuration recommendations for Integrated Lights-Out processors" available at the iLO manuals page at this link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManualтМй=en&cc=us&docIndexId=179111&taskId=101&prodTypeId=18964&prodSeriesId=397989
has helpful information. The section titled, "Creating a central repository for use with iLO's virtual media feature" has details.
Essentially:
- the network proximity and latency of the virtual media image source -> target has a dramatic impact on performance. Basically, the more hops and delay, the lower performance.
- have the virtual media image (.iso) served from a web server close to the iLO processor. (This does not imply close to the workstation). The web server can be Apache or IIS or another. Authentication and encryption are options.
- Use iLO scripting capability (either command-line or RIBCL/XML) to have iLO mount the virtual media on the host. This causes the iLO processor to fetch the data and takes your workstation out of the loop.
- If iLO is "close" to the virtual media server, the performance will be greatest.
- Stated differently, use iLO remotely to mount virtual media served locally (or at least proximally).

Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
scripts and all, time consuming, need simple and reliable solution.

Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
attaching usb dvd-drive directly to blade will speed things up (not so enterprise).
Virtual media is slow where ever it is, and there is a too small timeout value for disconnections.
You can find me from Twitter @JKytsi

Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
scripts and all, time consuming, need simple and reliable solution.
Consider it more for a case where a London-based remote is operated from Kansas. Serving the image from Kansas is not optimal, where if it is served from the London network...
The approach works well with dispersed organizations- you have to make the call.

Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
that's where the complexity is, robust design to accomodate requirements for both sites

Re: Ilo and Ilo2 virtual media throughput
Even if we directly attach a notebook via cross over ethernet cable to the OA the speed is no different.
ILO2 is running 1.43.
Can someone please confirm if this is normal? What speeds are other people getting?
