iDRAC6 User Password

-p<iDRAC-user-password>

This parameter provides the password for the specified iDRAC6 user.

If iDRAC6 authentication fails, an error message displays and the command terminates.

Floppy/Disk Device or Image File

-f {<floppy-device> or <floppy-image>} and/or -c {<CD-DVD-device> or <CD-DVD-image>}

where <floppy-device> or <CD-DVD-device>is a valid drive letter (for Windows systems) or a valid device filename (for Linux systems), and <floppy-image> or <CD-DVD-image>is the filename and path of a valid image file.

NOTE: Mount points are not supported for the VMCLI utility.

This parameter specifies the device or file to supply the virtual floppy/disk media.

For example, an image file is specified as:

-f c:\temp\myfloppy.img (Windows system) -f /tmp/myfloppy.img (Linux system)

If the file is not write-protected, Virtual Media may write to the image file. Configure the operating system to write-protect a floppy image file that should not be overwritten.

For example, a device is specified as: -f a:\ (Windows system)

-f /dev/sdb4 # 4th partition on device /dev/sdb (Linux system)

NOTE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 does not provide support for multiple LUNs. However, the kernel supports this functionality. Enable Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 to recognize a SCSI device with multiple LUNs by following these steps:

1Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add the following line: options scsi_mod max_luns=8

(You can specify 8 LUNs or any number greater than 1.)
