[cisco-voip] MCS (HP) CUCM 6 installation via iLO virtual media

[Boon]

Appreciate the response but the 'well traveled path' of PUT provided me
with a 6.1(3b) installation disk which is two versions higher than my
customer's CUCM 6.1.3.

Making non-bootable patches 'bootable' in the field has been an effective
way of quickly restoring/building a customer's server whilst under pressure
to deliver within timescales and thereby reducing cost which in the current
climate is an absolute necessity. It's frustrating that partners don't have
access to the tools they need.

Now back on topic has anybody had any experience of installing CUCM
remotely via an iLO port? :)
