15.3 OS Deployment via USB
OS Deployment operations can be performed via the iDRAC Direct / SCP via USB workflow assuming the
iDRAC can access the network share containing the ISO.
In the template file located on the USB key configure the following attributes to point to the networked ISO.
Example:
<SystemConfiguration>
<ComponentFQDD="LifecycleController.Embedded.1">
<!‐‐<AttributeName="OSD.1#SupportedOSList">MicrosoftWindowsServer2016,Microsoft
WindowsServer2012R2,MicrosoftWindowsServer2019,RedHatEnterpriseLinux8.0x64,Red
HatEnterpriseLinux7.6x64,SuSEEnterpriseLinux15x64</Attribute>‐‐>
<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSName">MicrosoftWindowsServer2019</Attribute>
<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSMediaShareIP">100.65.84.72</Attribute>
<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSMediaShareName">cifs_share_vm</Attribute>
<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSMediaShareUsername">administrator</Attribute>

<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSMediaSharePassword">P@ssw0rd</Attribute>
<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSMediaShareType">CIFS</Attribute>
<AttributeName="OSD.1#OSMediaName">WindowsSvrs2019EnglishStd.iso</Attribute>
</Component>
</SystemConfiguration>

Once the template is configured, follow the steps detailed in the iDRAC Direct (SCP via USB) section to
trigger an SCP Import operation with OS deployment.
NOTE: An OSMediaShareType value of ‘local’ is not supported in this workflow.
