Hope this helps others save some time and a lot of head scratching. Depending on the image type you will use, select Virtual DrivesURL Removable Media (.img) or Virtual DrivesURL CD-ROM/DVD (.iso). *Once finished with the mounted ISO I recommend removing the added SMBv1.0 Support not forgetting to reboot. Hello, i have tried to run install OS from iso file on my hard drive thru ILO virtual media but it seems to not work, i have tried many of different iso. Enter the URL for the image file that you want to mount as a virtual drive, and then click Connect. everything was configured spot on, share wide open, ISO valid and not corrupt, all lower-case naming and no special characters in the share name.Īfter a lot of wasted time and ensuring the latest release of IPMI Firmware was installed (version 0.88 at the time of writing) still nothing.Īfter further digging I found that the Supermicro software requires the machine that hosts the share to support SMB v1.0 which on Windows 10 is disabledĪ quick trip to Add Remove Features to select SMBv1.0 Server support and a reboot solved the issue allowing the ISO to mount as required. On the remote console screen, access the Virtual drives menu, and select the local media that should be remotely connected. This is where you may (as I did) run in to issues….īasic check time.

Enter the share details on the IPMI setting page Place the ISO file that you wish to mount at boot time in the new folder.ģ. Create a standard windows share and give open or authenticated account access permissionsĢ. Its a relatively straight forward process, or at least it should be :)ġ. I recently had the need to mount a bootable ISO to the Supermicro server I use in my lab environment using the built in IPMI tool.
