racadm remoteimage <options>

Options are:

–c : connect image

–d : disconnect image

–u <username>: username to access the shared folder

–p <password>: password to access the shared folder

–l <image_location>: image location on the network share; use double quotes around the location. See examples for image file path in Configuring Remote File Share Using Web Interface section

–s : display current Remote Image status

Usage Examples

CIFS based RFS:

racadm remoteimage -c -u "user" -p "pass" -l //shrloc/foo.iso

NFS Based RFS:

racadm remoteimage -c -u "user" -p "pass" -l <nfs ip>:/shrloc/foo.iso

HTTP/HTTPS Based RFS:

racadm remoteimage -c -u "user" -p "pass" -l http://url/shrloc/foo.iso

racadm remoteimage -c -l https://url/shareloc/foo.iso

Disconnect from the remote image:
```
racadm remoteimage -d
```

```
racadm remoteimage -s
```

NOTE: This command supports both IPV4 and IPV6 formats. IPV6 is applicable for CIFS and NFS type remote shares.
