• DeleteISOFromVFlash - Deletes the ISO image from the vFlash
partition. It provides the capability to download an ISO image to the
vFlash and then boot from it, allowing you to download custom install
images to run from. This command will execute only if the ISO is
detached.
You will need to perform the following steps to complete the process:
1
Download the ISO image to the vFlash.
2 Get the concrete job ID and poll for the completion of this job.
3 Run the BootToISOFromVFlash command . This will attach the
image as a CD ROM, boot to the attached image and then continue with
the operating system installation.
4 Detach the partition on the vFlash.
5 Delete the ISO image from the partition.
Part Replacement
Part Replacement provides the automated change of firmware of a newly
replaced component, such as a PowerEdge™ RAID controller, NIC or power
supply, to match that of the original part. This feature is disabled by default
and may be enabled if required. It is a licensed feature and requires the Dell
vFlash SD card. When a component is replaced and the Part Replacement
feature is enabled, the actions taken by the Lifecycle Controller are displayed
locally on the system monitor.
The presence of the vFlash SD Card and configuration of Part Replacement
related properties can be accomplished remotely through the Web services
interface using the WS-MAN protocol. For examples of command line
invocations using WinRM and WSMANCLI see the Lifecycle Controller 1.3
Web Services Interface Guide. DCIM Profile specification and related MOF
files are available at Dell TechCenter wiki in the DCIM Extension Library
area (www.DellTechCenter.com).
Important
Part replacement is supported on modular systems with the following
