OSD operations can be performed over the iDRAC Direct/SCP using USB workflow assuming the iDRAC can access the network share containing the ISO.
In the template file on the USB key, configure the attributes shown in the following example to point to the networked ISO:
<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 iDRAC Direct (SCP via USB) to trigger an SCP Import operation with operating system deployment.
Note: An OSMediaShareType value of local is not supported in this workflow.
