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.
[OS.ISO]: This is to be replaced by the actual name of the ISO image.
EXAMPLE:
winrm i BootToNetworkISO cimv2/root/dcim/DCIM_OSDeploymentService
?CreationClassName=DCIM_OSDeploymentService +Name=DCIM:OSDeploymentService
+SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem +SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem

encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
@{IPAddress="[NFS_IPaddress]";ShareName="[/NFS/OSISO]";ShareType="0";
