system as standard removable media. This feature may be interacted within the normal fashion, based on
the operating system running on the server system. The feature allows system administrators the ability to
install software (including operating system installation), copy files, perform firmware updates, and so on
from media on their remote workstation.
Note:
The file folder share is presented to the server system as a UDF file system; the server system
operating system must be able to interact with UDF file systems for this feature to be used with the operating
system.
5.3.2
Virtual Media over network share and local folder
In addition to supporting virtual media redirection from the remote workstation (see
Section 5.3.1
), the BMC
also supports media redirection of file folders and .IMG and .ISO files hosted on a network file server
accessible to the BMC network interface. The current version supports Samba shares (Microsoft* Windows*
file shares). Future versions will add support for NFS shares. This virtual media redirection is more effective
for mounting virtual media at scale, instead of processing all files from the workstation’s drive through the
HTML5 application and over the workstation’s network
. Each BMC makes a direct network file share
connection to the file server and accesses files across that network share directly.
5.3.3
Active Directory support
The BMC supports Active Directory. Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft* for
Windows domain networks. This feature allows users to login to the web console or Redfish* using an active
directory username instead of local authentication. The feature allows administrators to only change
passwords on this single domain account instead on every remote system.
