Conguring Remote File Share
The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a le from a share drive on the network to one or more servers through CMC to deploy
or update an operating system. When connected, the remote le is accessible similar to a le that you can access on a local server. Two
types of media are supported: oppy drives and CD/DVD drives.
To perform a remote le share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator or
Server Administrator privileges. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise license.
NOTE
: If you are using CIFS and are part of an Active Directory domain, enter the domain name with the IP address in the image
le path.
To congure the remote le share:
1 In the left pane, click Server Overview > Setup > Remote File Share.
2 On the Deploy Remote File Share page, type appropriate data in the elds. For more information about the eld descriptions, see the
Online Help.
3 To connect to a remote le share, click Connect. To connect a remote le share, you must provide the path, user name, and password.
A successful operation allows access to the media.
Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously-connected remote le share.
Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
NOTE
: Before you click the Deploy button, make sure that you save all the working les, because this action restarts the
server.
When you click Deploy, the following tasks are executed:
• The remote le share is connected.
• The le is selected as the rst boot device for the servers.
• The server is restarted.
• Power is supplied to the server if the server is turned o.
