32 Deployment and Managing Configurations with Dell OpenManage Essentials | Revision A00
9 Deploy Network ISO Image
Deploying of a network ISO boots a server to an ISO image that is located on your network. This can be
done independent, or in conjunction with a deployment task.
9.1 Deploy network ISO image requirements
1. Must meet all Deploy Template requirements (see the Target device requirements section).
2. If the ‘Deploy Template’ deploy option is checked, only server templates may be selected.
9.2 How to deploy network ISO image
1. Navigate to the ‘Deployment’ tab.
2. Click ‘Deploy Template’ (located in the left hand navigation under ‘Common Tasks’).
3. Enter a unique name for the task. A name is optional since a default name is supplied, but it is a
generic name, and the same default name is always supplied. Selecting a name that is relevant to
what is being deployed is suggested.
4. Check ‘Boot to Network ISO’ and uncheck ‘Deploy Template’. Click ‘Next’.
Note: Both ‘Deploy Template’ and ‘Boot to Network ISO’ can be selected. If both are selected, the ‘Select
Template’ and ‘Edit Attributes’ tabs are added to the wizard. See the Deploy a template to servers section
for a ‘How to’ on the ‘Select Template’ (above) and ‘Edit Attributes’ (above) tabs.
5. Enter ISO filename, Share IP, Share Name, Share username and Share password. Click ‘Next’.
