Repo manager - Any way to create bootable ISO's in batch or from command line?

Hello all,

I create ISO images everyday for individual servers and would like to be able to create multiple ISO images instead of just one at a time for each model server I'm working with.

Is there any way to do this or will it be in a future release?  Or is there an alternative way to create Linux Bootable ISO's in this manner?

Thanks,

Robert.

Hi,

You can always create an ISO with multiple bundles in to it. This will create different folders and script for each bundle and it will not pick up a wrong bundle automatically in any machine.

If the machine bundle is not found it will show the list of bundles and you can choose the execution.

If you want to customize ISO. you have to do it manually. 

This is the command to create an iso using DRM

c:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Dell Repository Manager v1.9.0\genisoimage.exe -r -udf -b "isolinux\isolinux.bin" -c "isolinux\boot.catalog" -o customlinux.iso -relaxed-filenames -no-emul-boot -boot-info-table -boot-load-size 4 -eltorito-alt-boot -b efiboot.img -no-emul-boot .

You may extract an existing linux iso created using DRM and change the bundle content with what is required. And run the command above in a command prompt with changing to the extracted folder(CD).
