I have problem with virtual media program, when i connect device (iso or cd ) after a little time it is disconnect automaticaly without warning or error and stop installatio.

What VISTA release you try to install
ISO image size?
VISTA is not supported officially at blades

[Emanuele De Angelis]

sorry , but i mean that i installed windows 2003 server in a blade bl45p but the i do installatio with my notebook where i have installed windows vista.
I think that there is a incopatibility between windows vista and ILO virtual media.

check IE7 and security,
java VM 1.5.x

[Emanuele De Angelis]

Do you have try this configuration?
Maybe that ilo require java 1.4.

Hello,

I had the same problem when trying to mount a CD-rom with Windows Vista. The solution for me was to find iexplore.exe and right-click on it and choose "Run as adminstrator". Then it worked to mount an physical CD-rom to the ILO server (virtual device).

Hi dear,
i had still mount CD with Intenet Explorer with "run as administrator" but after little time same issue.
I think that there is a problem with Java Virtual Machines...

We were having the same issues with our vista laptops, the upgrade of all the ILO's on the blades fixed the issue instantly. I suggest strongly a boot USB stick with all the updates for firmware and ILO. Just plug it in when you get a new blade and your done.

Just go to internet explorer options and go to security tab and uncheck "enable protected mode" this will resolve your problem.
