Good point on the remote kvm - I hadn't tried that since I'm not in the same building as the X4500 this week so was doing everything remote. The 20Z install server and the X4500 are on the same network (right next to each other), but I'm running around remotely logged in. I suspect it will take a seriously long time to remote kvm from my macbook from the home office... But a good idea for when I can get back to the lab.
Still - why doesn't AI work? Jay On Mar 13, 2009, at 4:34 PM, mary ding wrote: > Jay: > > Didn't the x4500 will support install from ALOM/ILOM by specifying a > path to an iso.
