How to mount ISO file on DRAC5 1.6 (PE2950)
We have a PE2950 installed with DRAC5 with firmware version 1.6
My management station is another PE2950 server having RHEL5.7 32bit OS and installed with Firefox 17.0.9.
I have downloaded the RHEL6.4 ISO file (3.5GB) on a management station.
I am able to login to DRAC5 using web interface. But what I see on the interface does not jive with DRAC5 1.6 manual.
I want to boot the server from ISO file and install OS.
I do not have physical access to the server.
I need help in configuring virtual media.
I see the following on
Media-->Virtual Media tab:
Attach/Detach status = Attached
Max Session = 1
Active Sessions = 0
Plugin Type = Java
Below the attribute area , I see a button called "Launch VM"
Media --> Virtual Flash
Virtual Flash Enabled = No
Virtual Flash Drive = and browse button is enabled.
Media --> configuration
Attach virtual Media = Attach
Max Session = 1
Active Session = 0
VM Media Port = 3668
VM SSL Port = 3669
Virtual Flash Enabled = NOT checked
Boot Once Option = Disable
Plugin Type = Java

Sanjivus,
Here is what you will need to do. Hit the Launch Vm button and then mount the ISO. Then select under configuration to do the "Boot Once Option" check mark. Then on reboot the ISO should present to boot.
Let me know how it goes.

That worked fine. Appreciate your help. Now I have another problem of read only access. I can not do anything. Server has booted from the virtually mounted ISO file, I guess I have read only access even though
Following are the console configuration settings:
Keyboard Port = 5900 (I tried changing to 5909 still no effect)
videoPort = 5901
Console Redirection Enabled = YES
Video Encryption Enabled = NO
Local Server Video Enabled = YES
Maximum Session = 4
Active Session = 1
Plug-in Type = Java
Default Access For Console Sharing = Full Access
Following is the content of vkvm.jnlp file from /tmp directory

I got it resolved. I went to console window, checked "pass all key strokes to targer" under tools--> session options.
Thanks again.

I tried downloading latest jre version both 32 and 64 bit but it did not help. Then I copied jre from a different 32bit rhel server and it worked.
