image type:
-l < path > – Specifies the remote path relative to
iDRAC. The path can be on a mounted drive: SMB
path: // <ip or domain> /< share_name > /
< path_to_image > NFS path: < ipaddress >:/
< path_to_image >
-u < user > – Username for accessing the remote

Examples
• To create a 20MB empty partition:
racadm vflashpartition create -i 1 -o drive1
-t empty -e HDD -f fat16 -s 20
• To create a partition using an image file on a remote system:
racadm vflashpartition create –i 1 –o drive1
–e HDD –t image –l //myserver/sharedfolder/foo.iso –u root –p mypassword
NOTE: The image file name extension is case sensitive. If the file name extension is in upper case, for example
FOO.ISO instead of FOO.iso, then the command returns a syntax error.
• To delete a partition:
racadm vflashpartition delete -i 1
• To delete all partitions, re-initialize the vFlash SD card:
racadm vflashsd initialize
• To get the status of operation on partition 1:
racadm vflashpartition status -i 1
• To get the status of all existing partitions:
racadm vflashpartition status -a
• To list all existing partitions and its properties:
racadm vflashpartition list
• To get the partition size:
racadm getconfig –g cfgvflashpartition –o cfgvflashpartitionsize
–i 1
• To display the emulation type:
racadm getconfig –g cfgvflashpartition –I 1 –o
cfgvflashpartitionemulatiotype
• To display the label for the partition that is visible to the operating system:
