Table 7. Post reboot scenarios
Scenario User Action and Impact
During POST, the system prompts you to press a key
to boot to the operating system installation media.
Press any key to begin the operating system installation; else, the
system boots to the hard-disk drive and not the operating system
installation media.
Operating system installation is interrupted and the
system restarts before the installation is completed.
The system prompts you to press a key to boot from the operating
system installation media.
Cancel operating system installation. Press <F10>.
NOTE: If you press <F10> during the installation process or a
restart, the drivers provided by the operating system deployment
wizard are removed.
During the 18-hour period when drivers are extracted
to a temporary location after the operating system is
installed, you cannot update the component firmware
using a DUP. If you attempt a DUP through the
operating system during this time period, the DUP
displays a message that another session is active.
Lifecycle Controller does not allow DUP after the operating system
installation. However, if you disconnect the power supply to the
managed system, the OEMDRV directory is erased.
