Users Guide

RFS and Virtual Media features are mutually exclusive.
● If the Virtual Media client is not active, and you attempt to establish an RFS connection, the connection is established and
the remote image is available to the host operating system.
● If the Virtual Media client is active, and you attempt to establish an RFS connection, the following error message is
displayed:
Virtual Media is detached or redirected for the selected virtual drive.
The connection status for RFS is available in iDRAC log. Once connected, an RFS-mounted virtual drive does not disconnect
even if you log out from iDRAC. The RFS connection is closed if iDRAC is reset or the network connection is dropped. The Web
interface and command-line options are also available in CMCOME Modular and iDRAC to close the RFS connection. The RFS
connection from CMC always overrides an existing RFS mount in iDRAC.
NOTE:
● CIFS and NFS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
● When the iDRAC is configured with both IPv4 and IPv6, the DNS server can contain records associating the iDRAC
hostname to both addresses. If IPv4 option is disabled in iDRAC, then iDRAC may not be able to access the external
IPv6 share. This is because the DNS server may still contain IPv4 records, and DNS name resolution can return the IPv4
address. In such cases, it is recommended to delete the IPv4 DNS records from the DNS server, when disabling IPv4
option in iDRAC.
● If you are using CIFS and are part of an Active Directory domain, enter the domain name with the IP address in the
image file path.
● If you want to access a file from an NFS share, configure the following share permissions. These permissions are
required because iDRAC interfaces run in non-root mode.
○ Linux: Ensure that the share permissions are set to at least Read for the Others account.
○ Windows: Go to the Security tab of the share properties and add Everyone to Groups or user names field with
Read & execute privilege.
● If ESXi is running on the managed system and if you mount a floppy image (.img) using RFS, the connected floppy
image is not available to the ESXi operating system.
● iDRAC vFlash feature and RFS are not related.
● Only English ASCII characters are supported in network share file paths.
● The OS drive eject feature is not supported when virtual media is connected using RFS.
● RFS through HTTP or HTTPs feature is not available on CMC web interface.
Remote-Dateifreigabe über die Web-Schnittstelle konfigurieren
So aktivieren Sie die Remote-Dateifreigabe:
1. Gehen Sie in der iDRAC-Webschnittstelle zu Konfiguration > Virtuelle Medien > Verbundener Datenträger.
Daraufhin wird die Seite Verbundener Datenträger angezeigt.
2. Wählen Sie unter Verbundener Datenträger die Option Verbinden oder Automatisch Verbindenaus.
3. Geben Sie unter Remote File Share (Remote-Dateifreigabe) den Abbilddateipfad, den Domänennamen, Benutzernamen und
Kennwort an. Weitere Informationen zu den Feldern finden Sie in der iDRAC Online-Hilfe.
Beispiel für einen Dateipfad:
● CIFS – //<IP to connect for CIFS file system>/<file path>/<image name>
● NFS – < IP to connect for NFS file system>:/<file path>/<image name>
● HTTP – http://<URL>/<file path>/<image name>
● HTTPs – https://<URL>/<file path>/<image name>
ANMERKUNG:
Zur Vermeidung von E/A-Fehlern bei CIFS-Freigaben auf Windows 7-Systemen, ändern Sie die
folgenden Registrierungsschlüssel:
● Legen Sie HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
auf 1 fest.
● Legen Sie HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size auf 3 fset.
