11 Operating System Deployment
The Dell Common Information Model (CIM) class extensions for supporting remote operating system
(OS) deployment are defined in the Dell OS Deployment Profile
2
and the
DCIM_OSDeploymentService MOF file
3
. The diagrams representing the classes that are implemented
by the Lifecycle Controller firmware can be found in Dell OS Deployment Profile as well.
Profile and Associated MOFs:

11.1 OS Deployment Profile Implementation Conformance
Use the following algorithm to test the instrumentation for OS Deployment Profile version
conformance and to discover the implementation namespace:
1. Enumerate (namespace=’root/interop’, classname=”CIM_RegisteredProfile”).
2. Filter the returned enumeration using property filter (RegisteredName=”OS Deployment”).
3. Result shall contain one instance of CIM_RegisteredProfile containing property
RegisteredVersion=”1.1.0”.
4. Associators (objectpath= “instance returned from step 3”, AssociationClass =
”CIM_ElementConformsToProfile”).
5. Result shall contain one instance of DCIM_OSDeploymentService .
11.2 Checking OS Deployment Service Availability
Invoke enumerate with the following syntax:
EXAMPLE:
wsman enumerate http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/
2/root/dcim/DCIM_OSDeploymentService
-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD
-j utf-8 -y basic
