Dell™ Lifecycle Controller 2 Web Services Interface Guide for Windows Version: 2.1.0

When the jobs are complete, the JobStatus property value will be “Successful” if the job completed
successfully or “Failed” if an error occurred while executing the request. If the job failed, the Message
property on the returned DCIM_OSDConcreteJob instance will contain more detailed error information
on the cause of the failure.
For the Lifecycle Controller version of the OS Deployment Profile there is only one instance of a job
generated by various method invocations, and it will persist until the next method that generates a job
is invoked. The job must complete before another method that generates a job can be called
successfully. This is unchanged from the Lifecycle Controller 1.2 for OS Deployment.
Invoke enumerate DCIM_OSDConcreteJob instance with the following syntax:
EXAMPLE:
winrm e cimv2/root/DCIM/DCIM_OSDConcreteJob
-u:[USER] -p:[PASSWORD]
-r:https://[IPADDRESS]/wsman:443
-SkipCNCheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
OUTPUT:
The enumeration will return the instances of OSDConcreteJob as shown:
DCIM_OSDConcreteJob
DeleteOnCompletion = false
InstanceID = DCIM_OSDConcreteJob:1
JobName = UnpackAndShare
JobStatus = Failed
Message = Installation not supported for the selected operating system
MessageID = OSD10
Name = UnpackAndShare
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. By default the ISO will be attached for around 18 hrs after which it will be
detached automatically. An optional parameter ExposeDuration can be used to specify a time less than
18 hrs if the ISO needs to be detached sooner.
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.
