Configure a Host Storage Device Redirection Session
Use the Host Storage Device feature in Oracle ILOM to mount a remote image file on the
server service processor (SP), and then redirect the file to the host server. The image appears to
the host server as an attached storage device.
The Host Storage Device feature is useful in the following situations:
■
You want to boot multiple Oracle servers from a single (ISO) image file that is stored on a
remote server.
■
You want to update multiple Oracle servers using a single (VFAT) image file that is stored
on a remote server.
You can only redirect one image file at a time from any of the Oracle ILOM interfaces.
Additionally, you cannot use the Host Storage Device feature while another type of redirection
is in progress. If you attempt to redirect an image file when another storage redirection session
is in progress on the SP, the storage redirection attempt will fail and an error message will
appear.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following requirements are met:
■
You have Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM.
■
If required, you have user credentials on the NFS or SAMBA central repository server
where the image file is located.
