Modifying a Partition Using RACADM
To view the available partitions and their properties on the card:
1. Open a telnet, SSH, or Serial console to the system and log in.
2. Use any one of the following:
– Using
config
command to change the read-write state of the partition:
* To change a read-only partition to read-write:
racadm config –g cfgvflashpartition –i 1 –o
cfgvflashPartitionAccessType 1
* To change a read-write partition to read-only:
racadm config –g cfgvflashpartition –i 1 –o
cfgvflashPartitionAccessType 0
– Using
set
command to change the read-write state of the partition:
* To change a read-only partition to read-write:
racadm set iDRAC.vflashpartition.<index>.AccessType 1
* To change a read-write partition to read-only:
racadm set iDRAC.vflashpartition.<index>.AccessType 0
– Using
set
command to specify the Emulation type:
racadm set iDRAC.vflashpartition.<index>.EmulationType <HDD, Floppy, or
CD-DVD>
Attaching or Detaching Partitions
When you attach one or more partitions, they are visible to the operating system and BIOS as USB mass storage
devices. When you attach multiple partitions, based on the assigned index, they are listed in an ascending order in the
operating system and the BIOS boot order menu.
If you detach a partition, it is not visible in the operating system and the BIOS boot order menu.
When you attach or detach a partition, the USB bus in the managed system is reset. This affects applications that are
using vFlash and disconnects the iDRAC7 Virtual Media sessions.
Before attaching or detaching a partition, make sure that:
• The vFlash functionality is enabled.
• An initialize operation is not already being performed on the card.
• You have Access Virtual Media privileges.
