Deploying operating system
To provision a bare metal server, it is essential to deploy the required operating system in the device before you start using it. This section
describes the process of deploying the operating system on the PowerEdge servers using Ansible.
To automate the process of operating system deployment in an unattended manner using Ansible, the iDRAC's capability is utilized to
transfer the customized ISO to iDRAC for boot.
To perform OS deployment, ensure:
• Operating system image is injected with required Dell drivers, and unattended response le.
• iDRAC is enabled, congured, and reachable.
• RAID is congured.
