Creating a partition from an image file using RACADM

To create a partition from an image file using RACADM:
  1. Open a telnet, SSH, or Serial console to the system and log in.
  2. Enter the command: racadm vflashpartition create –i 1 –o drive1 –e HDD –t image –l //myserver/sharedfolder/foo.iso –u root –p mypassword A new partition is created. By default, the created partition is read-only. This command is case sensitive for the image file name extension. If the file name extension is in upper case, for example FOO.ISO instead of FOO.iso, then the command returns a syntax error.
    • NOTE: This feature is not supported in local RACADM.
    • NOTE: Creating vFlash partition from an image file located on the CFS or NFS IPv6 enabled network share is not supported.
