Prerequisites:

Before deploying OS, ensure that:

  • The OS ISO image is mounted to the BMC. Only the system images specified in the LXPM list can be deployed through LXPM.

  • Monitor OneCLI in LXPM and ensure OneCLI will no be interfered by the deployment process.

  • A license is required for Windows OS.

  • Do not set the power-on password and setup password; otherwise, the deployment process will be interrupted.

Depending on the system behavior, the Windows OS installation status might be different from the actual system power status.
