Using DSU Bootable ISO
NOTE:
The bootable ISO can be created with an alternative sample script which is a simple method and has multiple options
for customization such as creating ISO for some specific set of platforms. For more information, see Sample scripts using
DSU.
This is one of the Bootable ISO generation methods. It can be created through either of the two following methods:
● Interactive- DUPs are downloaded and packaged in the iso.
dsu -–destination-type=ISO -–destination-location=”/root/bootabledsu.iso”
● Non-interactive- Requires a repository location to fetch DUPs.
dsu –n –-destination-type=ISO –-destination-location=”/root/bootabledsu.iso” –
config=”/root/dsuconfig.xml”
The config.xml template is as following:
<DSUConfig><Repository Type="YUM"><RepoLocation IP="198.168.10.12"
Directory="16.08.10" UseLatestDSU="False"/></Repository></DSUConfig>
You can also perform the same operation on Microsoft Windows Server Operating Systems using the following commands:
