Requirements for  Mounting an ISO via IPMI

Before we begin, please check that the system has the most recent version of Java or the openjdk package installed in order to open the IPMI KVM. Java may have restrictions in the most recent browser versions (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox). As a result, please try using Internet Explorer with the most recent Java version.

Now let us look at how to mount an iso using the IPMI.

• For mounting virtual media, connect to the system’s IPMI web interface by inputting its IP address into a client system’s web browser. Enter the “Operator” user ID and the password that we obtained when we created the IPMI session.
• Once logged in, go to Remote Control > Console Redirection. Now, choose Launch Console. Depending on the browser and BMC hardware. This will either immediately open the console or download a file named launch.jnlp.

  b: After downloading the launch.jnlp file to the system, open it for Mounting an ISO via IPMI.
