    What's the difference between using the LifeCycle controller versus mounting a Virtual Media ISO and choosing to that on the "Next Boot " ?

    There is a difference b/w HP servers and Dell. for HP servers we can directly mount ISO image and select boot form CD option from the BOOT MENU. But for Dell machines we have to mount the image first and reboot it and select the options in life cycle controller . So that the server will understand what type of image its is deploying and we can create RAID in life controller itself.
