Insert the OpenVMS OE DVD into the DVD drive of your PC or Windows server.

Make sure your Integrity servers iLO 2 MP and vMedia are set up as documented in your Integrity servers hardware documentation (for example, see the HP Integrity iLO 2 MP Operations Guide). Enable the right to use the vMedia applet.

Make sure your Integrity server is powered on. Once you connect to your server's iLO 2 MP and log in, you can check the status and power on your Integrity server from your browser. Select the Virtual Devices tab and access the Power & Reset screen by selecting Power Management (on the left of the screen).

From a browser on a Windows-based PC or server in the same network as your Integrity servers, access your Integrity server's iLO 2 MP by specifying the DNS name or IP address. Then log in as shown in the following example:

Select the Virtual Devices tab, then select Virtual Media from the list on the left. If your Integrity server is not a cell-based system, skip to the next step. If your server is a cell-based system, select the partition before launching the vMedia application, as shown:

Now launch the vMedia application by clicking Launch, as shown in the following example:

At this point, you might see popup security warnings, such as the one shown in Section D.1.4. In this case, you can check the box to always trust content, and then click Yes. (To avoid certification warnings, install valid certificates for the iLO 2 MP hardware. For more information, see the HP Integrity iLO 2 MP Operations Guide. In addition, see the online help provided by your browser.)

From the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM dialog box shown in the following example, make sure the Local Media Drive option is selected, and then click Create Disk Image:

The Create Disk Image dialog box appears, as in the following example. Specify a path or file name for the image to be created, and then click Create.

	NOTE: As noted previously, HP recommends that you do not install or upgrade directly from a DVD (on your local Windows-based management workstation) with vMedia. Creating a disk image on the local drive (or a network drive) will make the installation or upgrade much faster. This assumes the local or network drive is accessible to your Integrity servers over a high-speed network link.

The Virtual CD/DVD-ROM dialog box appears, as in the following example. Select the Local Image File option, and then browse for the created ISO image file that you want vMedia to access. Then click Connect.

The following screen indicates that the image is connected to vMedia. Now the targeted Integrity server is ready to be booted using the ISO image file.

At this point, access the Integrity server's console from a browser or terminal emulator, log in to the MP, and enter the co command at the MP main menu:

   MP MAIN MENU:

         CO: Console
        VFP: Virtual Front Panel
         CM: Command Menu
      SMCLP: Server Management Command Line Protocol
         CL: Console Log
         SL: Show Event Logs
         HE: Main Help Menu
          X: Exit Connection

[usb2mp] MP> co

At the EFI Shell prompt, enter the reconnect -r command to make sure all devices are discovered:

Shell> reconnect -r

When the EFI Shell prompt next appears, enter the map -r command to remap and rebuild the list of known devices that have a bootable EFI system partition:

Shell> map -r

The following example shows the boot mapping table displayed by the map -r command. The significant lines in the table are those that include both USB and CDROM information. Thus, in this example, fs0 is the file-structured logical partition on the physical disk to be booted from; it includes the bootable partition, and blk2 is the block device that has the bootable partition.

Device mapping table
fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Usb(0, 2)/CDROM(Entry0)
fs1 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part1,...FF)
fs2 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part4,...FF)
blk0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|1)/Usb(0, 0)
blk1 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Usb(0, 2)
blk2 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Usb(0, 2)/CDROM(Entry0)
blk3 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr5000C50000A7B30D,Lun0)
blk4 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)
blk5 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part1,...FF)
blk6 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part2,...FF)
blk7 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part3,...FF)
blk8 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part4,...FF)
blk9 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E014887A22,Lun0)/HD(Part5,...FF)

Now you can boot the OpenVMS Integrity servers image, either using the EFI boot menu or the following command at the EFI Shell prompt:

Shell> fs0:\efi\boot\bootia64.efi

As shown in the following example, the OpenVMS displays several messages followed by the operating system menu. You can now begin the installation or upgrade of OpenVMS on the Integrity servers.

	NOTE: The %SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER messages and the Universal Serial Bus Configuration Manager message are new to OpenVMS Version 8.4 and are seen only when using USB or vMedia devices for booting the Integrity rx2660, rx3600, and rx6600 servers.
