iLO Federation Group Virtual Media
Group Virtual Media enables you to connect scripted media for access by the servers in an iLO
Federation group.
• Scripted media only supports 1.44 MB floppy disk images (IMG) and CD/DVD-ROM images
(ISO). The image must be on a web server on the same network as the grouped iLO systems.
• Only one of each type of media can be connected to a group at the same time.
• You can view, connect, and eject scripted media, and you can boot from CD/DVD-ROM disk
images.
When you use scripted media, you save a floppy disk or CD/DVD-ROM disk image to a web
server and connect to the disk image by using a URL. iLO accepts URLs in HTTP or HTTPS
format. iLO does not support FTP.
• Before you use the Virtual Media feature, review the Virtual Media operating system
considerations.
