Remote Storage
7.16 Remote Storage
The Remote Storage feature provides the managed server with a “virtual” drive
which is physically located elsewhere in the network. The source for the virtual
drive can be a physical drive (floppy disk drive CD-ROM/DVD-ROM) or an ISO
image (image file).
IIn order to use the iRMC S2/S3 function Remote Storage, you require a
license key (see page 167).
You can make the remote storage media available as follows:
– As a physical drive or image file at the remote workstation (see page 113).
The image file may also be a network drive (with drive letter, e.g. “D:” for
drive D).
– As an image file centrally in the network via a remote storage server (see
page 127).
IParallel remote storage connections:
The following are possible concurrently:
–either up to two Remote Storage connections to virtual drives at the
remote workstation (if the connection is established over the AVR
Java applet) or
–one Remote Storage connection to a Remote Storage server.
Remote storage connections via applet and Remote Storage Server are
not possible simultaneously.
The Remote Storage page allows you to display information on the status of the
current remote storage connections and establish the connection to a remote
storage server.
