rdmount

Use rdmount to mount CD/DVD drives, ISO image files, or USB key on a remote BMC-based system. The application authenticates with the BMC and functions as a file server to access the virtual disk. It can also query and return a list of drives that are already mounted. Virtual disks are unmounted using the rdumount command.

Note
After V2.4.0, the rdmount command and the rdumount command can be used in the ThinkSystem servers with the matching XCC level.
