02/29/2024, 3:31 PMIt depends on your hardware. Some firmware lets you point to public images while booting, so all you'd need is a simple webserver. Other firmware lets you upload virtial ISOs to the firmware, and some makes you stream it over the redfish/ipmi/iDrac/iLo interface.

02/29/2024, 3:54 PMThanks for your reply, my hardware is mostly HPE Proliant Servers, with iLo interfaces. I didn't know about booting with images on a web server, I'll dig into that.

02/29/2024, 4:06 PMiPXE server should be fine, but that's if you want to really fancy up your setup
for a quick try you can just remotely attach the ISO from iLO
