13 VFlash SD Card Management
The Persistent Storage Profile describes the necessary properties and methods for representing
and managing the partitions on the virtual flash media(SD Card on AMEA) provided by the iDRAC
in Dell platforms.
The partition management of the virtual flash media includes:
o Listing virtual flash partitions
o Creating new partitions
o Deleting existing partitions
o Formatting a partition
o Exposing the partition in the host OS
o Detaching an attached partition
o Uploading an image to a partition
o Booting to a partition
o Modifying a partition
o Copying/exporting the contents of the partition

13.1 Listing the SD Card Partitions
Each partition on the virtual flash media shall be represented by an instance of
DCIM_OpaqueManagementData . If nothing is returned, no partitions exist. Use the CreatePartition()
method to create partitions.
Enumerate the DCIM_OpaqueManagementData with the following parameters and syntax:
EXAMPLE:
wsman enumerate http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/
2/root/dcim/DCIM_OpaqueManagementData
-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD -j utf-8 -y basic
OUTPUT:
<n1:DCIM_OpaqueManagementData>
<n1:AccessType>Read Only</n1:AccessType>
<n:AttachedState>Detach</n:AttachedState>
<n1:CreationClassName>DCIM_OpaqueManagementData
</n1:CreationClassName>
<n1:DataFormat>RAW</n1:DataFormat>
<n1:DeviceID>DCIM_OpaqueManagementData:Partition1</n1:DeviceID>
<n1:ElementName>VFlash</n1:ElementName>
<n1:Name>label1</n1:Name>
<n1:PartitionIndex>1</n1:PartitionIndex>
<n1:PartitionType>HDD</n1:PartitionType>
<n1:Size>50</n1:Size>
<n1:SystemCreationClassName>DCIM_ComputerSystem
</n1:SystemCreationClassName>
<n1:SystemName>DCIM:ComputerSystem</n1:SystemName>
</n1:DCIM_OpaqueManagementData>
Note: If nothing is returned, no partitions exist. Use the CreatePartition method to create partitions.
