Remote File Share
iDRAC6 Remote File Share (RFS) feature allows you to specify an ISO or
IMG image file located on a network share and make it available to the
managed server’s operating system as a virtual drive by mounting it as a
CD/DVD or Floppy using a Network File System (NFS) or Common Internet
File System (CIFS).
The format of the CIFS shared image path is:
//<ipaddress or domain name>/<pathtoimage>
The format of the NFS shared image path is:
<ipaddress>:/<pathtoimage>
NOTE: If you are using NFS, ensure that you provide the exact
<pathtoimage> including the image file extension as it is case sensitive.
NOTE: <ipaddress> must be an IPv4 address. IPv6 address is currently not
supported.
If a username contains a domain name, then the username must be entered
in the form of <user name>@<domain>. For example, [e-mail] is a
valid username whereas dell\user1 is not.
