11.3.6 Boot to Network ISO

The BootToNetworkISO() method can be used to boot the target system to a bootable ISO image

located on a CIFS or NFS share. The ISO image is attached to the host system as an emulated USB CD-

ROM storage device. The attachment will persist while the system is booted to the ISO image.

Invoke BootToNetworkISO() via NFS share with the following syntax:

[NFS_IPADDRESS]: This is the IP address of the location of the ISO image.

[/NFS/OSISO]: This is the directory path to the ISO image.

[NFS_Username]: This is the username to the IP address of the ISO image.

[NFS_Password]: This is the corresponding password to the username containing the ISO image.

[OS.ISO]: This is to be replaced by the actual name of the ISO image.

EXAMPLE:

wsman invoke -a BootToNetworkISO http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-

schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_OSDeploymentService

?CreationClassName=DCIM_OSDeploymentService,

Name=DCIM:OSDeploymentService,

SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem,

SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem

-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443

-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD -k IPAddress="[NFS_IPADDRESS]" -k ShareName="[/NFS/OSISO]" -k

ShareType="0" -k Username="[NFS_USERNAME]" -k Password="[NFS_PASSWORD]" -k

Workgroup="WORKGROUP"

-k ImageName="[OS.ISO]"

-j utf-8 -y basic
