Uploading an image to the server

You can upload an image to the local storage that is available on the baseboard management-controller (BMC) for the selected server.

About this task

The image remains on the management controller even if you end the remote-control session or if the server is restarted.

You can store approximately 50 MB of data on the management controller.

You can upload multiple images to the management controller provided that the total space that is used for all images is less than 50 MB.

Each image that is uploaded to the management controller is automatically mounted to the server. After you have uploaded an image to the management controller, you can also move that uploaded image to the management controller for a different server. When you move the image, the previously uploaded image is removed from the current server and uploaded to a selected server.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to upload an image to the server.

  1. From the Remote Control window, click the Remote Media icon (Remote media icon).
  2. Click Mount remote media.
  3. Click Upload the image to the IMM.
