Hi guys,
Just my two cents... When I first attempted this, it was on a DL380 G5, no optical drives installed or attached. I figured out of course that was the problem, however we frequently work with BL-p class blade servers as well so I found a little work around. I am happy to post it here for everyone as well:
Regards,
