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.
RFS may get disconnected when iDRAC IP is not reachable for more than 1 minute.
Configuration du partage de fichier à distance à l’aide de l’interface
web
Pour activer le partage de fichier à distance :
1. Dans l'interface Web iDRAC, accédez à Configuration > Média virtuel > Média connecté.
La page Média connecté s’affiche.
2. Sous Médias connectés, sélectionnez Connecter ou Connecter automatiquement.
3. Dans Remote File Share (Partage de fichiers à distance), indiquez le chemin d’accès au fichier d’image, le nom de domaine, le
nom d’utilisateur et le mot de passe. Pour plus d'informations sur les champs, voir l'Aide en ligne d'iDRAC.
Exemple de chemin d’accès à un fichier d’image :
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>
REMARQUE :
Pour éviter des erreurs d’E/S lorsque vous utilisez des partages CIFS hébergés sur des systèmes Windows 7,
modifiez les clés de registre suivantes :
Définissez HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache sur 1
Définissez HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size sur 3
REMARQUE : Les caractères ’/’ ou ’\’ peuvent être utilisés pour le chemin d’accès au fichier.
CIFS prend en charge à la fois les adresses IPv4 et IPv6, mais NFS ne prend en charge que l’adresse IPv4.
