Process for performing a scripted OS installation without PXE
(continued)
Description Action Step
Deployment Solution provides the Install
Windows OS task. You can access the task type
from the Manage > Jobs and Task > Create
New Job or Task menu.
For a Windows 2008 SOI, you must select the
answer file that contains the path to the Dell
drivers.
See “Modifying the answer file” on page 42.
Install the Windows OS. Step 8
Open access to drivers task type
Each DRAC stores drivers for each specific operating system. This task type lets
you open those drivers for a specific Windows, Red Hat, SUSE Linux, ESX, Hyper-V,
or Citrix operating system. After the drivers are open, you can then view and copy
the drivers and use them for other tasks.
This task is used mainly for a scripted OS installation (SOI) and is a workaround
for a known issue between Dell drivers and Microsoft processes. If you try to
perform a SOI, the drivers’ presence on the DRAC crashes the installation. As a
workaround, you can open the drivers, copy them from their current location into
a WinPE environment, and then close the drivers. If you now start the installation,
the Microsoft processes cannot see those drivers and the installation completes
successfully.
See “Performing a scripted OS installation without PXE” on page 37.
You can access this task type from the Create New Job or Task page.
See “Creating a deployment task for a Dell server” on page 26.
See “Close access to drivers task” on page 42.
This task contains the following options:
■
Operating system
From the drop-down list, you can choose a specific operating system to open
the drivers for.
■
Advanced
■
Script tab
You can choose to save the script output with the task status.
