Description
Sets the boot once device. If this property is set to a supported device and the
host system is rebooted, the system attempts to boot from the selected device—
if the appropriate media is installed in the device.
NOTE: To enable the Boot Once feature for the Virtual Flash device, go to the BIOS
Setup and manually change the boot order during system reboot.
NOTE: Boot once devices other than Virtual Flash (1), PXE (4), and Disable (0) are
supported only on some systems with supported BIOS and Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) firmware versions. See the Dell website at www.dell.com to check
if your system supports all the boot once devices.
NOTE: On systems not supporting Virtual Floppy and Virtual CD/DVD/ISO, use '1'
(Virtual Flash/Virtual Media) to perform the Boot Once either to Virtual Floppy, or
Virtual CD/DVD/ISO or Virtual Flash. In this case, set the required virtual device as
the first boot device in the BIOS Setup. DRAC 5 automatically disconnects this
device once the system reboots to the device, and another reboot is applied to the
system.
NOTE: On systems supporting Virtual Floppy and Virtual CD/DVD/ISO as separate
options, DRAC 5 does not automatically disconnect or detach the virtual media
connection after Boot Once.
