Custom Properties for PXE Provisioning
PXE is the only provisioning method supported for Cisco UCS Manager. You can use the network
bootstrap program with vRealize Automation custom properties to initiate WIM, SCCM, or Linux Kickstart
provisioning. You can also use custom properties to call your own PowerShell scripts. Linux Kickstart
provisioning does not require custom properties.
