Usually, network configuration is performed in two stages:
•
In the first stage, you define the network configuration parameters and store them under a
network name. You can have as many network name definitions as you want.
•
In the second stage, you use the Network Configuration Editor to apply the predefined network
names to the server's management processor.
These tools are discussed in
“Using the Define Networks tool” (page 63)
and
Configuration Editor” (page 66)
, respectively.
6.2 Preparing for virtual media
Preparing for virtual media consists of three activities:
•
“Discovering the management processor with HP SIM” (page 60)
•
“Creating a user account and enabling virtual media on the management processor” (page 61)
•
“Licensing virtual media on the management processor” (page 63)
NOTE:
If a server's NIC is on a private (physical) network, but the server's iLO is on a public
(physical) network, you must edit the /opt/mx/icle/icle.properties file so that the iLO
can mount the bootable ISO image file from the CMS. Add the following line to the
icle.properties
file:
VIRTUAL_MEDIA_REPOSITORY_IP=CMS_ext_IP
Where CMS_ext_IP is the external IP address of the CMS.
