34 Zero-touch, bare-metal server provisioning using the Dell EMC iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller Auto Config
Note: HTTPS Certificates are not supported with Auto Config. Auto Config will ignore certificate warnings.
The following additional option flags are supported in iDRAC9 3.00.00.00 and later versions to enable the
configuration of HTTP proxy parameters and set the retry timeout for accessing the profile file:
-pd (ProxyDefault): use default proxy setting. (OPTIONAL)
-pt (ProxyType): type http or socks (default setting http) (OPTIONAL)
-ph (ProxyHost): IP address of the proxy host (OPTIONAL)
-pu (ProxyUserName): user name that has access to the proxy server (mandatory for proxy support)
-pp (ProxyPassword): user password that has access to the proxy server (mandatory for proxy
support)
-po (ProxyPort): port for the proxy server (default setting 80) (OPTIONAL)
-to (Timeout): indicates the retry timeout in minutes for obtaining Profile file (default setting=60)
