6.1Providing remote storage at the remote workstation

If you provide the source for a virtual drive on the remote workstation then the remote storage functionality supports the following device types:

Floppy

CD ISO image

DVD ISO image

CD, DVD

IOptical storage media (CD, DVD) are automatically displayed (offered for selection). Other remote storage media must be made available as remote storage by manually selecting the appropriate device type.

IDevices connected as remote storage are recognized as the USB connected devices by the iRMC S2/S3. They cannot be used if no USB connection is available (e.g. no USB driver exists).

You can use the virtual drive to install an operating system on your PRIMERGY server from the remote workstation (see chapter "Remote installation of the operating system via iRMC S2/S3" on page 371).
