32.7 Remote File Share (RFS) Use Cases
32.7.1 Connect and Attach Network ISO Image as a USB CD-ROM device via RFS
USB end point.
Following sequence of CIM Operations shall be used to connect and attach network ISO Image from the
specified network share to the host server as a USB CD-ROM device via RFS USB end point.
Applies to: LC2+
Prerequisites for script: set network parameters by editing script
Script: ConnectRFSISOImage.win
NOTE: Check of Lifecycle Controller (LC) remote service state, via
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus(), is not required since ISO is connected using RFS USB endpoint and
LC status is not relevant.
A) Confirm RFS (remote file share) is NOT in Detach mode. iDRAC attribute AttachMode value
needs to be changed to Attached
B) ConnectRFSISOImage(): Invoke the method, successful return value is 0
C) GetRFSISOImageConnectionInfo(): Invoke the method to view connection information and
confirm C) was successful
32.7.2 Disconnect and detach ISO Image exposed via RFS USB end point
Following sequence of CIM Operations shall be used to disconnect and detach the ISO Image that is
exposed via RFS USB end point to host server.
Applies to: LC2+
Prerequisites for script: none
Script: DisconnectRFSISOImage.win
NOTE: Check of Lifecycle Controller (LC) remote service state, via
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus(), is not required since ISO is connected using RFS USB endpoint and
LC status is not relevant.
A) DisconnectRFSISOImage(): Invoke the method, successful return value is 0
B) GetRFSISOImageConnectionInfo(): Invoke the method to confirm the B) was successful
32.7.3 Get RF ISO Image connection Status
The GetRFSISOImageConnectionInfo() method is used to provide the status of the ISO Image connection
that has been exposed to the host system.
