To use iLO Virtual Media devices, select Virtual Media on the Virtual Devices 
tab. An applet loads in support of the Virtual Floppy or Virtual CD-ROM device. 

 

The iLO Virtual Floppy disk is available at server boot time for all operating 
systems. Booting from the iLO Virtual Floppy enables you to upgrade the host 
system ROM, deploy an operating system from network drives, and perform 
disaster recovery of failed operating systems, among other tasks. 

If the host server operating system supports USB mass storage devices, then the 
iLO Virtual Floppy is also available after the host server operating system loads. 
You can use the iLO Virtual Floppy when the host server operating system is 
running to upgrade device drivers, create an emergency repair diskette, and 
perform other tasks. Having the Virtual Floppy available when the server is 
running can be especially useful if the administrator must diagnose and repair a 
problem with the NIC driver. 

The Virtual Floppy can be the physical floppy drive on which you are running 
the Web browser, or an image file stored on your local hard drive or network 
drive. For maximum performance, HP recommends the use of local image files 
stored either on the hard drive of your client PC or on a network drive accessible 
through a high-speed network link. 

To use a physical floppy drive in your client PC: 

1. Select 

Local Floppy Drive. 

2.  Select the drive letter of the desired physical floppy drive on your client PC 

from the dropdown menu.
