Providing remote storage via a Remote Storage server
6.2 Providing remote storage via a Remote
Storage server
You can use a Remote Storage server to provide an image file (ISO/NRG
image) as remote storage for any number of PRIMERGY servers that can be
administered via iRMC S2/S3. You can use this image file to boot one or more
PRIMERGY servers from the remote workstation (see chapter "Remote
installation of the operating system via iRMC S2/S3" on page 371).
The Remote Storage server is available for Windows systems
IThe Remote Storage server is available in a 32-bit and 64-bit variant for
Windows. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Remote Storage server
must not be installed at the same time on 64-bitsystems.
IYou will find the individual variants of the Remote Storage server on your
ServerView Suite DVD 1 under
SVSoftware\Software\RemoteView\iRMC
Making the ISO image available to the PRIMERGY Server via Remote
Storage
The following requirements must be satisfied if your PRIMERGY server is to use
the image file made available by the Remote Storage server:
– The Remote Storage server must be installed (see page 128).
– The Remote Storage server must be started (see page 133).
– The managed server’s iRMC S2/S3 must be connected to the Remote
Storage server (see page 312).
Booting from WinPE 2.x-based ISO images
A PRIMERGY server running iRMC S2/S3 and a firmware version Ï 3.60A is
required to boot from a WinPE 2.x-based ISO image (e.g. Windows Server 2008
and ServerView Installation Manager).
