Deploying the network ISO file boots a server to an ISO image that is located on your network. This can be
done independent, or in conjunction with the deployment task.
21.1 Deploy network ISO image requirements
• Must fulfill all the Deploy Template requirements. See Target device requirements.
• If the Deploy Template option is selected, only server templates can be selected.
21.2 Deploy network ISO image
1. Navigate to the Deployment tab.
2. In the left pane, click Deploy Template under Common Tasks.
3. Type a unique name for the task. A name is optional since a default name is supplied, but it is a
generic name, and the same default name is always supplied. Selecting a name that is relevant to
what is being deployed is suggested.
4. Select the Boot to Network ISO check box and clear the Deploy Template check box.
5. Click Next.
Note—Both Deploy Template and Boot to Network ISO can be selected. If both are selected, the ‘Select
Template’ and ‘Edit Attributes’ tabs are displayed on the wizard. For deploying the template and editing the
attributes, see Deploying the template to the servers.
6. Enter ISO filename, Share IP, share name, share username and share password, and then click
Next.
