Frequently Asked Questions
When is the vFlash or standard SD card locked?
The virtual flash media is locked by iDRAC when the operation it is
performing needs exclusive access to the media. For example, during an
initialize operation.
In local RACADM, sometimes after creating a partition, if you try to
delete the same partition, an error message is displayed. Why?
This may happen because the create partition operation is in-progress.
However, the partition will be deleted after sometime and a message that the
partition is deleted is displayed. If not, wait until the create partition
operation is completed and then delete the partition.
