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:
winrm e cimv2/root/dcim/DCIM_OSDeploymentService -u:[USER] -p:[PASSWORD] -
r:https://[IPADDRESS]/wsman:443
-encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
OUTPUT:
DCIM_OSDeploymentService
CreationClassName = DCIM_OSDeploymentService
ElementName = Operating System Deployment Service
Name = DCIM:OSDeploymentService
SystemCreationClassName = DCIM_ComputerSystem
SystemName = DCIM:ComputerSystem
