You can mount remote shares and then move large data files, such as Lenovo XClarity Administrator backups and firmware updates, from the local repository to the remote share to manage disk space that is available to management server.
Before you begin
When running XClarity Administrator as a container, remote shares are mounted to the container using the yml file during installation (see Installing Lenovo XClarity Administrator in a Docker, CentOS, Citrix, Red Hat KVM, Rocky, Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, or Windows Hyper-V environment).
When running XClarity Administrator as a virtual appliance, you must have lxc-supervisor authority to mount or unmount a remote share.
Ensure that you have a high speed and stable network between the file server and XClarity Administrator.
About this task
You must use separate remote shares to store XClarity Administrator backups and firmware updates.
You cannot use the XClarity Administrator backup files directly from the remote share. To use the backup files, you must move them back to the local repository.
Currently, only SSHFS is supported.
Procedure
To add a remote share when running XClarity Administrator as a virtual appliance, complete the following steps.
