Providing remote storage via a Remote Storage server
6.2.2 Remote Storage server execution modes
You can execute the Remote Storage server in the following modes as required:
– as a background service
– as a stand-along program
You configure the Remote Storage server execution mode via a graphical user
interface (see page 130).
Executing the Remote Storage server as a service
The following points should be noted
– The image file can be located either on a computer in the network or on the
same host on which the Remote Storage server is running.
IIf the image file is not on the computer on which the Remote Storage
server is running, you must specify the path of the image file in UNC
notation. You also need a user account with access permissions on
the image file.
– When the host on which the Remote Storage server is located is booted, the
remote storage server starts automatically. The Remote Storage server is
then executed until it is explicitly terminated or the host is shut down.
– When the host on which the Remote Storage server is located is booted, the
image file becomes available automatically.
Executing the Remote Storage server as a stand-alone program
The following points should be noted
– The image file (ISO/NRG image) may be present locally on the Remote
Storage server or on an assigned network drive.
– When the host on which the Remote Storage server is located is booted, you
must start the image file “manually”.
