The “OSD.1#OSName” value comes from attribute "OSD.1#SupportedOSList". Passing in this value
means iDRAC will unpack and attach the driver pack before attaching the ISO and performing the
operating system installation.
Since the ISO is in the same directory path as the SCP file, OSMediaShareType can be set to local and
we don’t have to worry about filling in the other network OSD attributes.
ExposeDuration is set to 7200, which means the ISO will only be attached for 2 hours once the
installation process starts. After 2 hours, the ISO will get auto detached.
NOTE: When using JSON SCP file, you need to make sure for each attribute you want to configure, "Set
On Import" is set to “True”.
Here is an example of the edited SCP JSON file which has been stripped down to only show the
attributes that are edited:
