To use this command you have to manually change the boot order and make Virtual Drives as first in boot device. There is an alternate command which will work for you and no manual change required on the server. To set Virtual Floppy as first Boot device racadm set idrac.serverboot.FirstBootDevice vFDD To enable Boot Once racadm set idrac.serverboot.BootOnce Enabled To get more help on these commands racadm help idrac.serverboot 
Hello, Im trying to mount foo.iso (3 MB) on a remote host via idrac7's vmcli utility. I ran the below: /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/vmcli -r ip -u uname -p pwd -c foo.iso Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - self signed certificateContinuing execution. Use -S option for vmcli to stop execution on certificate-related errors.Connecting to server.... Connecting to ip. Login success. Mapping foo.iso to Remote Device[0] as Read Only. Success....................................... The dots seem to be appearing forever and vmcli does nt return. Do you know what maybe happening? Here's some information I got about the bmc via ipmitool : Device ID : 32 Device Revision : 1 Firmware Revision : 1.66IPMI Version : 2.0Manufacturer ID : 674Manufacturer Name : DELL Inc Pl let me know if you need more information from my end.
