The operating system booting to a network ISO provides the following capabilities:
(A) Attaches Network ISO image to host OS as Emulated USB Device for immediate one-time
boot.
(B) Detaches Emulated USB Device from (A).
(C) Retrieves the Job Status of the attached image.

(E) Detaches Emulated USB Device from (D).
(F) Retrieves the status of (D).
(G) Skips booting to the persistent Emulated USB Device with the Network ISO Image, one-time
on next boot.
Script Usage
Use the following script for harnessing the above capabilities:
osd_boot_network.py
The script is interactive and menu-driven. It does not have positional arguments. The script package
contains the file README_OSD_Boot_Network. This readme provides more information on the script
usage.
1. On running the osd_boot_network.py script, you will be prompted for
Enter iDRAC IP Address: [iDRAC IP]
Enter User Name: [USER NAME]
Enter User Password: [PASSWORD]
The first argument asks for the iDRAC’s IP address on the target system. The second argument asks
for the iDRAC’s user name. If the user is an AD account, then the syntax is “USER@DOMAIN”. The
third argument asks for the iDRAC’s password.
2. The script establishes a connection with the iDRAC and also performs Certificate validation.
Pinging [iDRAC IP]. Waiting for response. Done.
Getting SSL Certificate. Waiting for response. Done.
