Deploying remote file share

The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a file from a share drive on the network to one or more servers through CMC to deploy or update an operating system. When connected, the remote file is accessible similar to a file that you can access on a local server. Two types of media are supported: floppy drives and CD/DVD drives.

To perform a remote file share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator or Server Administrator privileges. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise license.

To configure the remote file share:
  1. In the left pane, click Server Overview > Setup > Remote File Share .
  2. On the Deploy Remote File Share page, type appropriate data in the fields. For more information about the field descriptions, see the CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Online Help.

  3. To connect to a remote file share, click Connect. To connect a remote file share, you must provide the path, user name, and password. A successful operation allows access to the media.

    Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously-connected remote file share.

    Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
    • NOTE: Before you click the Deploy button, make sure that you save all the working files, because this action restarts the server.
    When you click Deploy, the following tasks are executed:
    • The remote file share is connected.
    • The file is selected as the first boot device for the servers.
    • The server is restarted.
    • Power is supplied to the server if the server is turned off.
