Launching ACU from an ISO image (all generations)
To launch ACU, you can also boot from an ISO image. To prepare the image, use one of the following
methods:
• Mounting the image on a local drive (on page 23)
• Mounting the image through iLO (on page 24)
• Burning the image to a CD or DVD (on page 24)
• Flashing the image to a USB memory key or SD card (on page 24)
• Installing the image on a PXE server (on page 25)
Booting from the ISO image on a drive, on a key, or through iLO provides the same GUI interface. The user
can select to run Offline ACU GUI, ACU CLI, or ACU Scripting.
