Use the Remote Disk Command Line Interface (RDCLI) to mount
an image to a remote IMM-based
server.
RDCLI is
available in an ASU release
package. Use it to mount an ISO, DVD, or CD to a remote IMM-based system so
that it can be accessed like a local hardware device.
Considerations
Note the following points
before using the
RDCLI:
- To use the RDCLI mount
image to connect to a remote IMM-based system, the
system must be installed with the remote present key and remote present
function enabled.
- The RDCLI does
not work if there is a session started with the remote present function
through the IMM web
user interface.
- RDCLI is
supported both in rack IMM-based
and NGP servers. RDCLI does
not support AMM blade
servers.
