Installation Manual

Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 81
A filename with the IMG extension is redirected as a Virtual Floppy and a
filename with the ISO extension is redirected as a Virtual CDROM. Remote
file share supports only .IMG and .ISO image file formats.
The RFS feature utilizes the underlying Virtual Media implementation in
iDRAC6. You must have Virtual Media privileges to perform an RFS
mounting. If a virtual drive is already used by Virtual Media, then the drive is
not available to mount as RFS and vice versa. For RFS to work, Virtual Media
in iDRAC6 must be in the Attach or Auto–Attach modes.
Connection status for RFS is available in iDRAC6 log. Once connected, an
RFS mounted virtual drive does not disconnect even if you log out from
iDRAC6. The RFS connection is closed if iDRAC6 is reset or the network
connection is dropped. GUI and command line options are also available in
iDRAC6 to close the RFS connection.
NOTE: iDRAC6 vFlash feature and RFS are not related.
