Workflow for Remote Update from URI
1 Use the appropriate WS-Management client to send a method invocation
request to the iDRAC IP address. The WS-Management command
includes the
InstallFromURI() 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-Management command is invoked successfully, a Job ID
will be returned back.
3 Additional InstallFromURI() method invocation requests can be sent
using WS-Management 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.
