Module ");AttributeValue=@("1");AuthorizationToken="<Admin password>"}
3. Restart the system.
4. Activate the TPM using the following command:

5. Restart the system.
Setting BIOS attributes in the system running Linux
You can set BIOS attributes using any of the following methods:
● Using OMICLI
● Using WinRM
● Using WSMan
NOTE: Ensure that the OMI server is started and running.
Setting BIOS attributes using OMICLI
You can set BIOS attributes using the SetBIOSAttributes method. The procedure is explained below using a task of enabling the
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as an example.
NOTE: Make sure the TPM option is cleared in the BIOS before following the procedure to enable the TPM.
To set the BIOS attributes using OMICLI commands:
1. To set the BIOS password on the system if not set already, run
./omicli iv root/dcim/sysman { DCIM_BIOSService Name DCIM:BiosService
SystemCreationClassName DCIM_ComputerSystem SystemName <system name displayed in
DCIM_BIOSService class> CreationClassName DCIM_BIOSService } SetBIOSAttributes
{ AttributeName "AdminPwd" AttributeValue “<new Admin Password>” }
2. To enable the TPM security use the following command, run
./omicli iv root/dcim/sysman { DCIM_BIOSService Name DCIM:BiosService
SystemCreationClassName DCIM_ComputerSystem SystemName <system name displayed in
DCIM_BIOSService class> CreationClassName DCIM_BIOSService } SetBIOSAttributes
{ AttributeName "Trusted Platform Module" AttributeValue “1” AuthorizationToken
“<password>”
3. Restart the system.
4. To activate the TPM, run
./omicli iv root/dcim/sysman { DCIM_BIOSService Name DCIM:BiosService
SystemCreationClassName DCIM_ComputerSystem SystemName <system name displayed in
DCIM_BIOSService class> CreationClassName DCIM_BIOSService } SetBIOSAttributes
{ AttributeName " Trusted Platform Module Activation" AttributeValue “2”
AuthorizationToken “<password>” }
5. Restart the system.
6. To reset BIOS password, run
./omicli iv root/dcim/sysman { DCIM_BIOSService Name DCIM:BiosService
SystemCreationClassName DCIM_ComputerSystem SystemName <system name displayed in
DCIM_BIOSService class> CreationClassName DCIM_BIOSService } SetBIOSAttributes
{ AttributeName "AdminPwd" AttributeValue “” AuthorizationToken “<password>” }
