Input
• -b <
device
> — Specifies the first boot device; must be used with -o.
• Use with -m <
module
> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all
servers
Legal values: device=None, PXE, HDD, CD-DVD, vFDD, vCD-DVD, iSCSI, SD,
FDD, RFS
• -o <
no|yes
> — Indicates if the server should boot from the device once; must
be used with -o.
Use with -m <
module
> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all

n
=1-8 ;
x

– ipaddress — A string representing a valid IP address. For example,
192.168.0.20.
– subnet — A string representing a valid subnet mask. For example,
255.255.255.0.
– gateway — A string representing a valid gateway address. For
example, 192.168.0.1.
• -d — Enables DHCP for the specified server.
