270 Configuring vFlash SD Card and Managing vFlash Partitions
If you are an administrator, you can perform all operations on the vFlash
partitions. If not, you must have Access Virtual Media privilege to create,
delete, format, attach, detach, or copy the contents for the partition.
Configuring vFlash or Standard SD Card Using
iDRAC6 Web Interface
After you install the vFlash or standard SD card, you can view its properties,
enable or disable vFlash, and initialize the card. The vFlash functionality
must be enabled to perform partition management. When the card is
disabled, you can only view its properties. The initialize operation removes
existing partitions and resets the card.

to initialize the card.
