14 ISO control operations

on iLO-based managed systems. You can use this functionality to perform interactive OS installations
from OS distribution ISOs, including Windows.
The ISO image must be registered in the Insight Control for Linux repository before you can perform
these operations. For information on registering an ISO image, see
