The four high level steps, which may require 3 reboots, are the follows:

1) If the NIC is disabled, 1 job to enable it in bios and reboot

2) If partition disabled, 1 job to enable partition and reboot

3) Once both NIC card and partition are enabled, set the FCoE related NIC attributes

and reboot

4) After that, the NIC will show up in the IPL list, enable it.

A) Check the NIC is enabled

1. GetBIOSEnumerations(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class to collect

information about the system.

2. Ensure AttributeName of $nicAttributeName is enabled

If it is not enabled, enable it as shown below

 SetBIOSAttributes()

AttributeName=$nicAttributeName AttributeValue=Enabled

AttributeName=BootMode AttributeValue=Bios

 CreateBIOSConfigJob()

 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1

 Poll jobstatus for Completed

B) Check partition is enabled, if not enable it as follows

AttributeName=NicPartitioning AttributeValue=Enabled

C) Configure FCoE

1. Disable all sources

2. Create BIOS job

3. Set the following attributes

LegacyBootProto=FCoE

ConnectFirstFCoETarget=Enabled

FCoEOffloadMode=Enabled

FCoETgtBoot=Enabled

VirtWWPN=your WWPN address

FirstFCoEWWPNTarget=your FirstFCoEWWPNTarget address

FirstFCoEBootTargetLUN=your FirstFCoEBootTargetLUN value

D) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect

information about the boot sources.

E) Loop through all boot sources, until find the NIC, then enable the NIC boot source
