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.
