### Automated OS Installation for Dell iDRAC Systems
12+
13+
For completely automating the installation using an Ubuntu auto install ISO image see [here](auto_install_ubuntu_iso.md).
14+
15+
The Ansible playbook [install_os.yml](../ansible/install_os.yml) will help automate the installation of an Operating System on Dell servers using iDRAC, [dellemc.openmanage](https://github.com/dell/dellemc-openmanage-ansible-modules) library and the autoinstall Ubuntu iso that we have created. This script currently supports the dell machines only.
16+
17+
Currently, the `idrac_os_deployment` ansible role natively supports installation of `RHEL` and `ESXI` Operating Systems or using a `Custom ISO`. We are using the custom iso option, to install `Ubuntu Jammy 22.04` OS on our systems.
18+
19+
Fore more details on the dellemc.openmanage idrac_os_deployment ansible role that was used in the playbook, refer the documentation [here](https://github.com/dell/dellemc-openmanage-ansible-modules/tree/collections/roles/idrac_os_deployment).
20+
21+
Progress on native `UBUNTU` support to the `idrac_os_deployment` ansible role can be tracked [here](https://github.com/dell/dellemc-openmanage-ansible-modules/pull/784).
22+
23+
To run the playbook:
24+
25+
```bash
26+
ansible-playbook -i inventory install_os.yml
27+
```
