iDRAC is Dell’s remote management system; I have the full-featured Enterprise version. KVM. Also has Virtual CD. ISO files are mounted in the app (Java based running on MacOS in my case) which is provided to the system remotely. At BIOS boot I’m selecting Virtual CD. Although I’ve never had a problem, Tim commented that sometimes Dell’s virtual cd doesn’t always work. Thus I could try a physical DVD. Minimal, omnicse, and Solaris iso all boot fine off Virtual CD. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
