Using The iDRAC Virtual Media

PowerVault DL2

00 systems that include the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) Enterprise support

iDRAC7 virtual media. The iDRAC virtual media feature allows a management station’s DVD drive to be accessed by the

managed server. The appliance operating system and applications can be installed using the iDRAC7 virtual media and

is an alternative to using an internal or USB DVD drive.

NOTE: If your appliance does not have an internal DVD drive, connect either a USB DVD drive or use the iDRAC

virtual media to reinstall the operating system and the applications from the media.

Configuring The iDRAC Enterprise For Remote Access

Before virtual media can be enabled, the iDRAC Enterprise card must be configured for remote access. For more

information, see Configuring Your System to Use an iDRAC7 in the

Virtual media is configured using the iDRAC Enterprise web interface. For more information on accessing the web

interface, see Accessing the Web Interface in the

Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) User's Guide

After the web interface has been accessed the virtual media can be configured. For specific instructions, see
