48 Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
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
will not be 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.
The 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
CMC and iDRAC6 to close the RFS connection. The RFS connection from
CMC always overrides an existing RFS mount in iDRAC6.
NOTE: iDRAC6 vFlash feature and RFS are not related.
