Tonight I have to boot a diskless server with iLO and dd a remote image available by ssh onto a usb key. As there is no local place to store the image, whats the most efficient cmd to push the image from the remote server using ssh into the local pipe pushing out to `dd of=/dev/sdx`?
Would a remote execution of `dd if=/dev/sdx` be the best over ssh? I suppose I could use nc and do away with ssh, is that in the CentOS rescue mode?
Thanks, jlc
