Mount virtual drive ISO via Redfish API URL length issue

Hey

I have an issue mounting virtual drive ISO via Redfish API if URL length is longer then 255 chars.

Has anyone experienced similar issue?

Server model: PowerEdge R6515
iDrac firmware: 4.40.0.0

Can you share the URI and error message are you getting while trying virtual drive iso with redfish. What kind of share are you using for keeping ISO file and whether iso file name or folder names are longer to get the URL longer above 255 character?

Hey Shine

 
ISO is stored in Swift object storage
 
Funnily enough I don't get any immediate error, after POST'ing ISO URL. Also I don't get nothing returned from Redfish API when I check if ISO is mounted (I would expect Image and ImageName set). But when I check iDrac web interface under Remote File Share I can see that the ISO is connected and I have to manually disconnect it (Click disconnect) before next use.
 
I have done some testing with shortening the URL to 255 characters and then the issue disappears.
 
(I have tried to add some sample links and outputs but all my replies were marked as spam)

iDRAC support virtual media using redfish from CIFS, NFS, http and https share. If you have issue in attaching output, can you tryin attaching screenshot of the output.
