Reference Guide

NOTE: Creating an empty partition with emulation type
as floppy with ext2 format type by using the Telnet
session might result in a state where the partition
creation status is shown as zero. If this happens then it is
recommended to remove the SD card and format it in
order to reuse.
Creation of a partition may be unsuccessful if:
– The network share is not reachable.
– The user name or password provided is not correct.
– The file provided does not exist.
– The memory available on the SD card is lesser than size
of the image file.
• -l — Specifies the remote path relative to iDRAC.
• -u — User name for accessing the remote image.
• -p — Password for accessing the remote image.
• -a — Display the status of operations on all the existing
partitions.
• list — Lists the existing partitions and its properties.
Example
• Create a 20MB empty partition.
racadm vflashpartition create -i 1 -o Drive1 -
e hdd -t empty -f fat16 -s 20
• Create a partition from a remote image.
racadm vflashpartition create -i 1 -o Drive1 -
e cddvd -t image -l
//ipaddress/sharefolder/isoimge.iso -u
username -p password
A new partition is created. By default, the created partition is
read-only. This command is case-sensitive for the image
filename extension. If the filename extension is in uppercase,
for example FOO.ISO instead of FOO.iso, then the command
returns a syntax error.
NOTE:
– This feature is not supported in Local RACADM.
– Creating vFlash partition from an image file on the
CFS or NFS IPv6 enabled network share is not
supported.
• Delete a partition.
racadm vflashpartition delete -i 1
• Status of operation on partition 1.
racadm vflashpartition status -i 1
