Bootable ISO (Using Linux Bundle) — Updates
the system irrespective of the operating system installed on them.
It can be used to update systems that do not have an operating system installed.
The
Bootable ISO option exports the bundle(s)
as ISO images. You can burn these ISO images to a CD and boot the
CD, or create a bootable USB key on the systems that you want to update
with the latest bundle(s). This option is available for deployment
only if you select Linux custom bundle(s). This ISO image uses Bootable
ISO Linux Kernel to execute the DUPs and update the system. The update
package is compatible only when you select Linux bundles and components.
If the server you boot through the Bootable ISO (ISO) is not supported by
any base lines bundle(s) on this media, all the base lines are displayed
on the console. To force the execution, enter the number corresponding
to the required baseline and press <
Enter>. For example, if PowerEdge M710 is the second in the list, press
<2> and apply the bundle.
If the system you boot through
Bootable ISO is supported by one base line (bundle), execution automatically
starts.
When a deployment folder is created, a new
Readme.html is created within the ISO file along with
the bundle(s) in the location you provided. The readme file describes
the contents of the deployment kit such as platform included, operating system
(OS), and information about components.
-
NOTE: If you select a Windows bundle(s),
the bundle(s) are skipped.
You can also
customize the Dell default script or add your own scripts for deployment.
