Table 117. Details of vflashpartition subcommand (continued)
○ empty — Creates an empty partition
○ image — Creates a partition using an image relative to iDRAC.
Creation of a partition may be unsuccessful if:
○ The network share is not reachable.
○ The user name or password provided is not correct.
○ The file provided does not exist.
○ The memory available on the SD card is lesser than size of the image file.
● -l — Specifies the remote path relative to iDRAC.
● -u — User name for accessing the remote image.
●
-p — Password for accessing the remote image.
● -a — Display the status of operations on all the existing partitions.
● list — Lists the existing partitions and its properties.
Example
● Create a 20MB empty partition.
racadm vflashpartition create -i 1 -o Drive1 -e hdd -t empty -f fat16 -
s 20
● Create a partition from a remote image.
racadm vflashpartition create -i 1 -o Drive1 -e cddvd -t image -l
//ipaddress/sharefolder/isoimge.iso -u username -p xxx
A new partition is created. By default, the created partition is read-only. This command is case-sensitive
for the image filename extension. If the filename extension is in uppercase, for example FOO.ISO
instead of FOO.iso, then the command returns a syntax error.
NOTE:
○ This feature is not supported in Local RACADM.
○ Creating vFlash partition from an image file on the CFS or NFS IPv6 enabled network share is
not supported.
● Delete a partition.
racadm vflashpartition delete -i 1
● Status of operation on partition 1.
racadm vflashpartition status -i 1
● Status of all the existing partitions.
racadm vflashpartition status -a
● List all the existing partitions and its properties.
racadm vflashpartition list
