• The SCP option for end host power state will be overwritten when OSD operations are provided in the
template.
• The operating system install process might require manual interaction via a Press Any Key prompt if the
host already has an operating system installed.
• The operating system name value you pass in the SCP file must not contain any whitespace characters.
For example, Windows Server 2019.iso is an invalid value, but Windows_Server_2019.iso is a valid
value.
• SCP import/preview operations are blocked while the driver pack is still exposed or attached.
• The SCP import operation ignores the driver pack attach request when the operating system media
information fails the network connectivity check. This is done as a convenience to allow the user to
resolve any network or template issues before blocking Lifecycle Controller operations with the driver
pack.
• Unattended ESXi install using SCP has a limitation. The ESXi ISO itself is not set up to know where to
look for the kickstart file compared to RHEL or SUSE. To perform an unattended ESXi install using SCP,
you must modify the ISO to ensure the ISO can locate the kickstart file on the network share. In the SCP
file itself, you only need to pass in the ESXi ISO name.
