nodemedia(8) -- Manage server remote media ========================================================= ## SYNOPSIS `nodemedia [attach|detachall|list|upload] ` ## DESCRIPTION **nodemedia** manages the remote media functionality of supported BMCs. `list` shows all the current remote media the BMCs of the noderange are 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 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. ## EXAMPLES * Listing currently mounted media: `# nodemedia s1-s4 list` `s1: boot.img` `s2: boot.img` `s4: boot.img` * Uploading a small boot image to the BMC: `# nodemedia s1-s4 upload boot.img` `s1:complete: 100% s2:complete: 100% s3:complete: 100% s4:complete: 100%` `s1: boot.img` `s4: boot.img` `s2: boot.img` * Attaching a larger ISO for on-demand access: `# nodemedia s1,s4 attach http://172.30.0.6/install/rhel74.iso` `s4: http://172.30.0.6/install/rhel74.iso (insecure)` `s1: http://172.30.0.6/install/rhel74.iso (insecure)`
