Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration Version 3.3 for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager User's Guide
Issue 22
Issue: Creation of unattended operating system media takes a long time in a non-windows operating system deployment.
Resolution: During non-windows operating system deployment, Dell Lifecycle Controller Utility creates the unattended operating system media using the NFS share. If NFS share responds slow, this step takes more time. Use NFSv3 preferably on a server running Red Hat Linux operating system.
