Prepare for non-Windows operating system
deployment
Ensure that you remember the following points for deploying non-windows operating systems on managed systems:
● ISO file is available in either Network File System Version (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) share with read and
write access.
● Confirm that virtual drive is available on the managed system.
● After deploying ESXi operating system, the server is moved to Managed Lifecycle Controller (ESXi) collection in MECM.
● After deploying any type of non-windows operating system, the servers are moved to Default Non-Windows Host Update
Group.
● It is recommended that the network adapter is connected to the network port in the server on which the operating system is
being deployed.
