Operating system deployment scenarios in OMIMSSC
This section has all the troubleshooting information related to operating system, or hypervisor (for SCVMM) deployment using
Operational Template in OMIMSSC.
Operating system deployment generic scenarios
This section has all the generic troubleshooting information related to operating system deployment.
Failure to deploy Operational Template
After deploying the Operational Template on the selected servers, the attributes or attribute values are not appropriate for the
selected .CSV file, or the iDRAC IP or iDRAC credentials are changed due to the configurations in the template. The job in
iDRAC is successful, however the status of this job in OMIMSSC is shown as unsuccessful or failure due to invalid .CSV file, or
the job cannot be tracked due to the iDRAC changes on the target server.
As a workaround, ensure the selected .CSV file has all the proper attributes and attribute values, and the iDRAC IP or
credentials do not change due to the configurations in the template.
Failure to save an Operational Template
When you are creating an Operational Template, if you select and clear a dependent attribute’s check box having pool value, you
are not able to save the Operational Template with the following error message:
Select atleast one attribte, under the selected components, before creating the
Operational Template.
As a workaround, perform any one of the following:
● Select any other dependent attribute having pool value or the same dependent attribute and save the Operational Template.
● Create a new Operational Template.
Operating system deployment scenarios for SCCM users
This section has all the troubleshooting information related to operating system deployment using OMIMSSC in SCCM console.
Deploy option not visible in task sequence
The Deploy option is not displayed in an existing task sequence after uninstalling and reinstalling OMIMSSC console extension
for SCCM.
As a workaround, open the task sequence for editing, re-enable the Apply option, and click OK. The Deploy option is displayed
again.
To re-enable the Apply option:
1. Right-click the task sequence, and select Edit.
2. Select Restart in Windows PE. In the Description section, type any character and delete it so the change is not saved.
3. Click OK.
This re-enables the Apply option.
Failed to add servers into Managed Lifecycle Controller Lifecycle Controller
ESXi collection in SCCM
If the DHCP lookup fails while operating system deployment, then the server times out and the server is not moved into
Managed Lifecycle Controller Lifecycle Controller (ESXi) collection in SCCM.
