Configuring Remote File Share

The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a file from a share drive on the network to one or more servers
through CMC to deploy or update an operating system. When connected, the remote file is accessible as if it is on the
local system. Two types of media are supported: floppy drives and CD/DVD drives.
To perform a remote file share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator or Server Administrator privileges.
