Prerequisites to run the Import Media tool

  • Before you run the Import Media tool, the operating system media that you want to import must be available through the network to the Media Server. You will need to know the hostname of the server containing the image(s) you want to upload and the hostname of the Media Server.
  • Windows, Solaris, Linux, and VMware ESX operating system images on the Media Server must be available through nfs/cifs/smb.
  • You must log in as an SA user (username and password) that has the required permissions to use the Import Media tool. If you do not specify a username/password in the import_media argument, you are prompted for a valid user name and password when you execute the command.
