Workflow for Remote Update from URI
1 Use the appropriate WS-MAN client to send a method invocation request
to the iDRAC IP address. The WS-MAN command includes the
UpdateFromURI() method on the DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService,
and the location from where iDRAC should download the Dell Update
Package (DUP). The download protocols that are supported are FTP,
HTTP, CIFS, NFS and TFTP.
2 When the WS-MAN command is invoked successfully, a Job ID will be
returned back.
3 Additional UpdateFromURI() method invocation requests can be sent
using WS-MAN to create other update jobs.
4 A reboot job can be created by invoking the CreateRebootJob() method
on the DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService and specifying the desired
reboot type. The reboot type can be graceful, power cycle or graceful with
power cycle after 10 minutes.
