338 Deploying Your Operating System Using iVMCLI
To run the ivmdeploy script, enter the following command at the command
prompt:
ivmdeploy -r ip.txt -u <idrac-user> -p <idrac-passwd>
-c {<iso9660-img> | <path>}
where:
•< idrac-user > is iDRAC6 user name—for example, root
•< idrac-passwd > is the password for iDRAC6 user—for example, calvin
•< iso9660-img > is the path to an ISO9660 image of the operating system
installation CD or DVD
•<
path > is the path to the device containing the operating system
installation CD or DVD
The ivmdeploy script passes its command line options to the iVMCLI utility.
See "Command Line Options" on page 340 for details about these options.
The script processes the -r option slightly differently than the iVMCLI -r
option. If the argument to the -r option is the name of an existing file, the
script reads iDRAC6 IP addresses from the specified file and runs the
iVMCLI utility once for each line. If the argument to the -r option is not a
filename, then it should be the address of a single iDRAC6. In this case, the -
r works as described for the iVMCLI utility.
The ivmdeploy script supports installation only from a CD/DVD or a
CD/DVD ISO9660 image. If you need to install from a floppy disk or a floppy
disk image, you can modify the script to use the iVMCLI -f option.
