Settings→ Storage→ List→ Add Function

Description

The Settings→ Storage→ List→ Add function adds storage to the image server used to store images. Before you can create an image or import a RAID package, you must create storage so that you can store images and update RAID packages.

Prerequisites

Create a shared directory that the image server can access.

Operations and Inputs

NOTE: (*) indicates a required field or task.

1. Enter the following parameters for adding storage: 
   
   
   • Location (*) — The path name for storing images and update packages. Format the path name as shown in the following example:
     
      \\IPaddress\share 
     
     where IPaddress is the IP address of the storage server and share is the name of the network share directory.
     
     
   • User name (*) — User name to log in to the storage.
     
     
   • Password — The password used to log in to the storage.
     
     
2. Click Add to add the storage.

Expected Results

The browser indicates that it is waiting for a response from the system. If the addition is successful, Remote Install adds storage to the image server.

Possible Errors

Messages similar to the following may appear. The wording may vary.

• The storage already exists in the database.
  
  
• The storage location is not valid.
  
  
• Invalid username and/or password for the storage.
  
  
• The storage cannot be accessible by the image server.

Subsequent Operations

After you create storage, you can capture an image, import an image, and import an update package.
