268 Configuring vFlash SD Card and Managing vFlash Partitions
A standard SD card can be of any size but supports only one partition. The
size of the partition is limited to 256MB. The label name for the partition is
VFLASH by default.
NOTE: Ensure that you only insert a vFlash SD card or standard SD card in the
iDRAC6 Enterprise card slot. If you insert a card in any other format (example, Multi-
Media Card (MMC)), the following error message is displayed when you initialize
the card: An error has occurred while initializing SD card.
If you are an administrator, you can perform all operations on the vFlash
partitions. If not, you must have Access Virtual Media privilege to create,
delete, format, attach, detach, or copy the contents for the partition.
Configuring vFlash or Standard SD Card Using
iDRAC6 Web Interface
After you install the vFlash or standard SD card, you can view its properties,
enable or disable vFlash, and initialize the card. The vFlash functionality
must be enabled to perform partition management. When the card is
disabled, you can only view its properties. The initialize operation removes
existing partitions and resets the card.
NOTE: You must have Configure iDRAC permission to enable or disable vFlash, or
to initialize the card.
If the card is not available in the system's iDRAC6 Enterprise card slot, the
following error message is displayed.
SD card not detected. Please insert an SD card of size
256MB or greater.
To view and configure the vFlash or standard SD card:
1
Open a supported Web browser window and log in to the iDRAC6 Web
interface.
2 In the system tree, select System .
3 Click the vFlash tab. The SD Card Properties page is displayed.
