28 Remote Services Operations

• Get the driver pack (a package of all supported operating system drivers for

all supported operating systems for the platform) version:

Remote management consoles, applications, and scripts request driver

pack version and list of supported operating systems from iDRAC through

WS-Management.

The

GetDriverPackInfo()

method on the

DCIM_OSDeploymentService

class returns the driver pack version and the list of operating systems

supported by the driver pack.

• After determining which operating system the drivers support, one of the

following methods can be invoked through WS-Management to unpack

the appropriate drivers and expose them locally or acquire them remotely.

The

UnpackAndAttach()

method on the

DCIM_OSDeploymentService

class extracts the drivers for the

requested operating system and places them on an internal USB

device labeled

OEMDRV

. The

OEMDRV

appears as a locally

attached USB device to the system. The method takes the operating

system name and an expose duration time as input parameters and

returns a job identification that can be subsequently checked for the

status of the unpack and attach activity.

The

UnpackAndShare()

method on the

DCIM_OSDeploymentService

class extracts the drivers for the requested operating system and copies

them to a network share. The method takes the operating system name

and network share information as input parameters and returns a job

identification that can be subsequently checked for the status of the

unpack and share activity. Network share information includes the IP

address of the share, the share name, share type, and username, password

and workgroup data for secure shares.

Important

• The drivers unpacked and attached are removed after the time specified

ExposeDuration

parameter or if no time is specified in the method

invocation then by default the OEMDRV USB device will be removed

after 18 hours.

• Ensure that network based ISO images attached during the process are

detached before you use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface

(UEFI) System Service.
