11.3.18 Connect RFS ISO Image
The ConnectRFSISOImage() method is used to connect the ISO image that is mounted through Remote
File Share (RFS) and is made available to the host System as a USB-based CD-ROM device. The
successful execution of this method shall connect to the ISO located on NFS/CIFS share to the host
server and expose it as a virtual CD-ROM device using RFS USB endpoint. The successful execution of
the method shall not change the boot order of that device. In order to boot to the CD-
ROM, the CD-ROM shall be configured in the boot order in a separate step (using BIOS and Boot
Management Profile), and the host server shall boot to the CD-ROM. Unlike the
ConnectNetworkISOImage() method, the Lifecycle Controller is not locked and may perform other
management tasks.
Invoke ConnectRFSISOImage() with the following syntax:
[IPADDRESS-ISO]: The IP address of the server that stores ISO images.
[DRIVESHARE]: This is the directory path to the ISO image.
[SHARETYPE]: The type of the remote storage. 0: NFS, 2: CIFS
[SHAREUSER]: User account for the ISO share location
[SHAREPASSWORD]: Password of the share account
[WORKGROUP]: Applicable workgroup
[IMAGENAME]: Image name of the iso image, such as boot.iso.
EXAMPLE:
wsman invoke -a ConnectRFSISOImage
