Hello [NAME].gooch,   I spoke to the co-worker of mine, and he tested something which might be suspected. I told him about after mounting, you were not able to find any mounted devices except the hard drives. He tested what he thought might be the root cause, which is the USB module which might be blacklisted or not working. Try # lsmod | grep -i usb after mounting in iDRAC, it should show a return of a usb storage. If it doesn't probably that's the part you might want to look into. 
I can mount remote disk images to an iIDRAC9 ( ver 5 firmware ) and boot the server from them, but I cannot figure out how to access the image from the Linux operating system over ssh. e.g. I know that I can do thing using the virtual console, but that is a manual, interactive process, and I need an automated, scalable process that works with Linux and doesn't require Internet access.
