Using Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration (DLCI) 43
The pre-operating system image is mounted as a virtual media over the
network and the drivers for the target host operating system are applied
either from the ConfigMgr console repository or the Lifecycle Controller.
If you select drivers from the Lifecycle Controller, the list of operating
systems supported is based on the current driver pack flashed on the iDRAC.
You can also download an ISO image to the vFlash SD card on the target
system and boot the system to the downloaded ISO image.
NOTE: vFlash features can only be used on rack and tower servers with iDRAC
version 1.3 firmware or newer, or on blade servers with iDRAC version 2.2 or newer.
For more information on remote operating system deployment and staging
and booting to operating system image on vFlash, see the Dell Lifecycle
Controller User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
