How do I Use iLO to Remotely Attach an ISO File?

Another advantage of having iLO configured on your server is that it allows the user to attach media remotely. One example of when this would be used is to upload an operating system ISO file; so the user can use this to install an operating system remotely.

To attach an ISO file to a server through iLO, first login to the iLO’s control panel and then start a remote console. If you are not sure how to do this, please use our FAQ to find information on how to perform these actions. Now click Virtual Drives at the top of the virtual console screen. Then click on ‘Image File CD/DVD-ROM’

A window will now appear allowing you to navigate your computer’s files. Select your ISO file and press Open.

You have now mapped the virtual media to the server. You should now be able to access this content through the server. If you have attached an ISO to install a new operating system, you should now be able to access this media through the boot menu.
