For deploying ESXi, use the Dell customized ISO available at support.dell.com .
Provide the ISO share on a NFS share. This share is used by DLCI to extract the ISO and create a custom ISO. The
custom ISOes are saved on the same share.
It is recommended that the machine having NFS share is not exposed to the internet.
DLCI clears all the partitions on the target system before installing any nonwindows operating system.
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 Configuration Manager 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 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller. 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 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
version 1.3 firmware or newer, or on blade servers with Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 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
available at support.dell.com/manuals.
