Discover cluster node hardware, configure DHCP reservations, validate and remediate BIOS/iDRAC settings against Dell Azure Local validated baselines before OS installation.

Prepare Dell hardware boot configuration, verify ISO availability, and install Azure Stack HCI OS on each cluster node before OS configuration.

Create DHCP reservations for iDRAC out-of-band management interfaces using MAC addresses and planned IPs from variables.yml before hardware arrives on site.

Delete and recreate virtual disks on Dell BOSS cards via iDRAC Storage Management or Redfish API for a clean OS installation target.

Enable Windows Remote Management on all Azure Local nodes via iDRAC Virtual Console. Must run locally on each node — WinRM cannot be enabled remotely before it exists.

Discover all cluster node hardware using Dell iDRAC Redfish API, collecting hardware inventory, BIOS configuration, and iDRAC settings for use in subsequent tasks.

Mount the Dell Azure Stack HCI OS gold image ISO to all cluster nodes via iDRAC virtual media or USB drive, and verify mount status before BOSS card preparation.

Manually install Azure Stack HCI OS on each cluster node using iDRAC Virtual Console. The ISO was mounted in Task 02 — nodes boot directly into Windows Setup after the BOSS recreation reboot.

Validate BIOS and iDRAC settings against Azure Local requirements using Task 02 discovery data. Generates a per-node compliance report for use in Task 05 remediation.

Verify that Azure Stack HCI OS has been successfully installed on all cluster nodes before proceeding to Phase 03: OS Configuration.

Remediate non-compliant BIOS and iDRAC settings identified in Task 04 using Dell Redfish API. Handles reboots, re-collects configuration, and re-runs Task 04 validation to confirm 100% compliance.
