Virtual Media OS deploy cloud-init

Hello Dell

Using DELLEMC Ansible idrac_os_deployment, mounts the install media

as /dev/sr0 and restarts the iDRAC.

Using InsertEjectVirtualMediaREDFISH.py to mount a coud-init nocloud seed ISO

as /dev/sr1 at the same time works.

Both mounted at the same time and the install with cloud configuration works 100%.

 

What would the racadm  equivalent be to mount the OS ISO and the nocloud seed CD at the same time as in the scenario above?
The nocloud image can be a .img or a .iso.

Thanks so much.

Hi Dell

Please do not remove this feature:

OpenManage Ansible Modules can mount two ISOs.

We are nearing production with it.

Appreciated.

Hello,

 

Per the racadm CLI guide, the command to mount as  ISO is racadm remoteimage -c -l (store location). You may also need to add syntax for credentials, if needed. However, this will only mount a single ISO image. Neither the Ansible materials nor the Python script you reference are supported here, but I spoke to a colleague of mine who advised me that he did not believe the OpenManage Ansible Modules could mount two ISOs, either.

Hi

Thank you for the answer.

But you should try it in your lab. Mounting both as decried works.

Having this feature for racadm will be a great step forward for cloud-init nocloud installations.

This works in parallel with the OS install ansible module.

CMD="python /global/instserv/bin/redfish/InsertEjectVirtualMediaREDFISH.py"

$CMD -ip $IP -u $USER -p $PASSWD -o 1 -d 1 -i 10.145.39.74:/global/instserv/bootdisks/ISO/$ISO

Regards.
