## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**nodemedia** manages the remote media functionality of supported BMCs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`list` shows all the current remote media the BMCs of the noderange are
|
2018-01-23 15:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
providing to the host platform. The string (insecure) is appended to URLs that
|
|
|
|
|
are mounted in an insecure fashion. http is insecure, and https is also
|
|
|
|
|
insecure when no meaningful certificate validation is performed. Currently
|
|
|
|
|
there is no action that can change this, and this is purely informational. A
|
|
|
|
|
future version of software may provide a means to increase security of attached
|
|
|
|
|
remote media.

|
|
|
`detachall` removes all the currently provided media to the host. This unlinks
|
2018-01-22 19:18:03 +00:00
|
|
|
remote media from urls and deletes uploaded media from the BMC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`upload` takes the given media image and uploads it to the BMC. This causes
|
|
|
|
|
the remote media to reside internally to the system without having to go
|
|
|
|
|
to the network after the upload. This is more constrained, for example the
|
|
|
|
|
Lenovo xClarity Controller has a limit of 50 megabytes, but it has zero ongoing
|
|
|
|
|
load on the media source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`attach` takes a URL to a remote media as an argument, and has the given
|
|
|
|
|
BMCs map a virtual USB device to that url. Content is loaded on demand, and
|
|
|
|
|
as such that URL is referenced potentially once for every IO operation that
|
|
|
|
|
the host platform attempts.

|
|
|
`# nodemedia s1-s4 upload boot.img`
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
`s1: boot.img`
|
|
|
|
|
