5. Activate the TPM using the following command:
wsman invoke –a “SetBIOSAttributes” http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/
DCIM_BIOSService?Name=”DCIM:BIOSService”, SystemCreationClassName=”DCIM_ComputerSystem”,
SystemName=”<system name from DCIM_BIOSService class>”,
CreationClassName=”DCIM_BIOSService” –N root/dcim/sysman –h <system IP/name> –P 5985 –u
<user name> –p <password> –y basic –v –V –k “AttributeName=AdminPwd” –k
“AttributeValue=” –k “AuthorizationToken=<password>”
Changing the boot sequence
To change the boot sequence follow the steps:
:
1. Check for the boot order type (Legacy or UEFI) by using the following command:
• WMIC Command: wmic /namespace:\\root\dcim\sysman path dcim_BootConfigSetting get
ElementName/format:list.
• PowerShell Command: gwmi -namespace root\dcim\sysman -class dcim_BootConfigSetting -Property
ElementName.
2. Check for the current boot order type (Legacy or UEFI) by using the following command:
• WMIC Command: wmic /namespace:\\root\dcim\sysman path dcim_ElementSettingData.IsCurrent=1
get SettingData /format:list .
• PowerShell Command: gwmi -namespace root\dcim\sysman -class dcim_elementSettingData -Filter
"IsCurrent=1" -Property SettingData.
3. Changing boot-order by using the following command:
• WMIC Command: wmic /namespace:\\root\dcim\sysman path dcim_bootconfigsetting call
ChangeBootOrder /?:full .
• PowerShell Command: (gwmi -namespace root\dcim\sysman -class
dcim_bootconfigsetting).getmethodparameters("ChangeBootOrder") .
NOTE:
dcim_BootConfigSetting instance must represent the boot configuration that you want to change –
either type 1 (Legacy) or type 2 (UEFI).
• The arguments are:
• Authorization Token — This is the Administrator or boot password.
• Source — This is the boot order list taken from dcim_OrderedComponent.PartComponent property. The new boot
order is determined by the order of boot devices in the source array.
4. Changing Boot order for type 1 boot-list using PowerShell:
a) Get Current Boot-order for type 1 boot-list by running the following command: $boLegacy = gwmi -namespace root
\dcim\sysman -class dcim_orderedcomponent | where {$_.partcomponent -match
'BootListType-1'} | select -expand partcomponent.
b) Define a PowerShell variable to specify boot-order to set $newboLegacy. Assign the new boot-order to it. For example, Current
boot-order type is retained.
c) $newboLegacy = $boLegacy
d) Get dcim_bootconfigsetting instance corresponding to type 1 boot-list by running the following command: $bcsLegacy
= Gwmi -Namespace root\dcim\sysman -ClassName dcim_bootconfigsetting | where
{$_.ElementName -eq 'Next Boot Configuration Setting : Boot List Type 1'}.
e) Invoke the method by running the following command: $ bcsLegacy.changebootorder($newboLegacy,
$AuthorizationToken). $AuthorizationToken variable is used to pass the BIOS password.
5. Changing Boot order for type 2 boot-list using PowerShell:
a) Get Current Boot-order for type 2 boot-list by running the following command: $boUefi = gwmi -namespace root\dcim
\sysman -class dcim_orderedcomponent | where {$_.partcomponent -match 'BootListType-2'} |
select -expand partcomponent.
b) Define a PowerShell variable to specify boot-order to set $newboUefi. Assign the new boot-order to it. For example, current
boot-order type is retained.
c) Get dcim_bootconfigsetting instance corresponding to type 2 boot-list by running the following command: $bcsUefi =
Gwmi -Namespace root\dcim\sysman -ClassName dcim_bootconfigsetting | where {$_.ElementName
-eq 'Next Boot Configuration Setting : Boot List Type 2'}.
