The operating system deployment feature is used to
remotely deploy an operating system using WSMAN web services protocols
that use CIFS and NFS network file sharing protocols. Remote activation
of locally exposed embedded drivers such as a USB drive eliminates
the need for physical media.
NOTE: By default the
drivers are available with iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller for all
the Dell supported operating systems.
You can perform the following operations:
Get installed driver pack version and list of supported
operating systems.
Expose embedded OS deployment drivers for a selected
operating system remotely. The drivers are attached to the server
on an emulated USB device.
Remote acquisition of embedded drivers for the selected
operating system to a CIFS or NFS network share that can be used later
for operating system deployment.
Boot to an ISO image on a CIFS or NFS network share
to initiate an operating system installation.
Download ISO to vFlash SD card and boot from the card
to initiate an operating system installation.
Connect an ISO from CIFS or NFS network share, attaching
it as virtual USB CD-ROM device to the server, and booting the server
to the ISO, every time the server restarts.
One time boot to PXE.
One time boot to hard disk.
Get the list of MAC addresses of all supported NICs
present on the server.
