. Using CIM and Dell extension classes using the web

services protocols WS-MAN, Dell Operating System Deployment feature

provides the following capabilities:

• Get the embedded driver pack (a package of all supported operating

system drivers for all supported operating systems for the platform)

version:

Remote management consoles, applications, and scripts request driver

pack version and list of supported operating systems from iDRAC through

WS-MAN.

The

GetDriverPackInfo()

method on the

DCIM_OSDeploymentService

class returns the embedded driver pack version and the list of operating

systems supported by the driver pack.

• After determining which operating system the drivers are needed for, one

of the following methods can be invoked through WS-MAN to unpack the

appropriate drivers and expose them locally or acquire them remotely.

The

UnpackAndAttach()

method on the

DCIM_OSDeploymentService

class extracts the drivers for the

requested operating system and places them on an internal USB

device labeled

OEMDRV

. The

OEMDRV

appears as a locally

attached USB device to the system. The method takes the operating

system name and an expose duration time as input parameters and

returns a job identification that can be subsequently checked for the

status of the unpack and attach activity.

The

UnpackAndShare()

method on the

DCIM_OSDeploymentService

class extracts the drivers for the requested operating system and copies

them to a network share. The method takes the operating system name

and network share information as input parameters and returns a job

identification that can be subsequently checked for the status of the

unpack and share activity. Network share information includes the IP

address of the share, the share name, share type, and username, password

and workgroup data for secure shares.
