Initializing vFlash SD Card Using iDRAC Settings Utility
To initialize the vFlash SD card using iDRAC Settings utility:
1. In the iDRAC Settings utility, go to vFlash Media.
The iDRAC Settings vFlash Media page is displayed.
2. Click Initialize vFlash.
3. Click Yes. The initialization operation starts.
4. Click Back and navigate to the same iDRAC Settings vFlash Media page to view the successful message.
All existing contents are removed and the card is reformatted with the new vFlash system information.
Getting the Last Status Using RACADM
To get the status of the last initialize command sent to the vFlash SD card:
1. Open a telnet, SSH, or Serial console to the system and log in.
2. Enter the command:
racadm vFlashsd status
The status of commands sent to the SD card is displayed.
3. To get the last status of all the vflash partitions, use the command:
racadm vflashpartition status -a
4. To get the last status of a particular partition, use command:
racadm vflashpartition status -i
(index)
NOTE: If iDRAC7 is reset, the status of the last partition operation is lost.
Managing vFlash Partitions
You can perform the following using the iDRAC7 Web interface or RACADM:
NOTE: An administrator can perform all operations on the vFlash partitions. Else, you must have Access Virtual
Media privilege to create, delete, format, attach, detach, or copy the contents for the partition.
• Creating an Empty Partition
• Creating a Partition Using an Image File
• Formatting a Partition
• Viewing Available Partitions
• Modifying a Partition
• Attaching or Detaching Partitions
• Deleting Existing Partitions
• Downloading Partition Contents
• Booting to a Partition
NOTE: If you click any option on the vFlash pages when an application such as WS-MAN, iDRAC Settings utility, or
RACADM is using vFlash, or if you navigate to some other page in the GUI, iDRAC7 may display the message:
vFlash is currently in use by another process. Try again after some time
.
vFlash is capable of performing fast partition creation when there is no other on-going vFlash operation such as
formatting, attaching partitions, and so on. Therefore, it is recommended to first create all partitions before performing
other individual partition operations.
