258 Configuring the vFlash SD Card and Managing vFlash Partitions
Deleting a Partition
• To delete a partition:
racadm vflashpartition delete -i 1
• To delete all partitions, re-initialize the vFlash SD card. For information,
see "Initializing the vFlash or Standard SD Card" on page 244.
Getting the Status of a Partition
• To get the status of an operation on partition 1:
racadm vflashpartition status -i 1
• To get the status of all existing partitions:
racadm vflashpartition status -a
Viewing Partition Information
To list all existing partitions and their properties:
racadm vflashpartition list
Booting to a Partition
• To list the available devices in the boot list:
racadm getconfig –g cfgServerInfo –o
cfgServerFirstBootDevice
If it is a vFlash SD card, the label names of the attached partitions appear
in the boot list. If it is a standard SD card and if the partition is attached,
then VFLASH is displayed in the boot list.
• To set a vFlash partition as a boot device:
racadm config –g cfgServerInfo –o
cfgServerFirstBootDevice “<vFlash partition name>”
where, <vFlash partition name> is the label name for the vFlash SD card
or VFLASH for the standard SD card.
When you run this command, the vFlash partition label is automatically set to boot
once, that is, cfgserverBootOnce is set to 1. Boot once boots the device to the
partition only once and does not keep it persistently first in the boot order.
