definition (.mof) files can be found at the Lifecycle Controller area on the Dell
Enterprise Technology Center at
delltechcenter.com . Using CIM and Dell
extension classes using the web services protocols WS-Management, Dell
Operating System Deployment feature provides the following capabilities:
• Get the 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-Management.
The GetDriverPackInfo() method on the DCIM_OSDeploymentService
class returns the driver pack version and the list of operating systems
supported by the driver pack.
• After determining which operating system the drivers support, one of the
following methods can be invoked through WS-Management 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 is displayed 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 user name, password and
workgroup data for secure shares.
