reinstallOS—Re-install Operating System

This action re-installs a target computer after crash.

If the system is managed by OSIM and if there is a current OS installation but no scheduled installation request regardless if it is active, stopped, or failed, then the reinstallation of the current OS is scheduled. In any other case, the request will fail.

This action has the following format:

targetComputer action=reInstallOS 
name=computer_name 
[atTime="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm"]
[wakeup[={y|n=}]] 
[restart[={y|n}]]
[waitBs[={y|n}]]
[waitIm[={y|n}]]
attime

Specifies the date and time when the action will be started.

The date has the ISO format "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm".

name

Specifies the name of the computer to be reinstalled.

restart

This optional parameter specifies if a running system will be restarted when the associated installation request will be carried out.

If restart or restart=y is coded, then a restart will be performed.

If restart=n is coded, then no automatic restart will be performed and it is up to the user to reboot the system to start the OS installation process.

If the parameter is not coded, the default is given by restart=n.

waitBs

If waitBs or waitBs=y is coded then the activation request might be deferred until the addressed target is assigned a boot server. If it waitBs=n is coded then the request is not deferred because of a missing boot server assignment. The default is waitBs=n

waitIm

If waitIm or waitIm=y is coded then the activation request might be deferred until the associated boot and OS images are staged at the related boot server. If it waitIm=n is coded then the request is not deferred because of not yet staged images. The default is waitIm=n.

wakeup

This optional parameter specifies whether a target system in power standby mode shall be waked up for this installation or not.
If wakeup or wakeup=y is coded, then the systems will be waked up.
If wakeup=n is specified, no wake up will be performed.
If the parameter is not coded, the default wakeup=n will be used.
