Can't attach CD and RemovableDisk simultaneously through the Redfish API but work through the Web UI
I try to attach an Ubuntu ISO on the virtual CD and a cloud-init configuration IMG on the Virtual USB. It works when using the virtual console (through the iDRAC web UI) but it doesn't when I call the redfish API. The 1st I insert gets inserted, the 2nd one always gets refused (virtual media already attached). It doesn't matter which one I try to attach 1st.
Any idea what I do wrong?

EricEajks,
Could you confirm if you are using the following command?
/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/VirtualMedia/1/Actions/VirtualMedia.InsertMedia
If so then it may just be a command issue, as two mages are allowed now but you have to make a different call for the 2nd one.
The command to connect the second one would be as follows
/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/VirtualMedia/2/Actions/VirtualMedia.InsertMedia
The reason this is the case is you can't use 1 twice.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your help, it seems that I now understand why it worked a couple of weeks ago and no longer now.
Currently I use:
A couple of weeks ago I probably used
/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/VirtualMedia/1/Actions/VirtualMedia.InsertMedia
/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/VirtualMedia/2/Actions/VirtualMedia.InsertMedia
because I remember that I have already succeeded once with attaching simultaneously CD and RemovableMedia and that I had to change CD for 1 and RemovableDisk for 2. I couldn't reproduce it but now I understand why. Yesterday I remember this strange CD-1 and RemovableDisk-2 issue but I didn't think about the possibility that there could be two different redfish URLs. Do you know what the difference is between both?
I'll give it a try.
