Virtual Disk commands using RACADM

Re iDRAC7 and iDRAC8: I want to mount a virtual DVD and boot from it without using the iDRAC web interface, using only racadm commands. Thus far, I can't find a way.

1. If I "attach virtual media" using the GUI, I can't find any racadm command that tells me I did so. I also can't find any racadm command that causes the GUI to report that virtual media is attached. One might suspect "racadm get Storage.VirtualDisk" would tell me something, but I see, "ERROR: STOR0701: Storage objects are unavailable in the current system configuration."

2. I can use "racadm remoteimage" to specify the DVD. But that ends up as a remote file system (RFS), not as virtual media. I can't boot from it.

I do not want to install local software, OpenManage or anything else. I want to do this simply with an SSH session to the iDRAC. Is there something I'm missing?
