Remote Services Operations 53

NOTE: To have the iDRAC reboot the system automatically at the scheduled

time, create a reboot job (specifying type of reboot, graceful or power cycle)

and include the reboot job ID in the list of jobs specified in the

SetupJobQueue() method invocation. If a reboot job is not included in the Job

Queue setup, the jobs are ready to run at the scheduled start time but rely on

an external actor to restart the system and get the job execution started.

Running Multiple Target Jobs

To run multiple target jobs (for example, setting NIC attributes on multiple

NICs) at one time:

Configuring Embedded NIC 1:

Set the NIC attributes for Embedded NIC 1.

Create a targeted config job for Embedded NIC 1 with a scheduled

start time of TIME_NOW, but ensure not to schedule a reboot.

Configuring Embedded NIC 2:

Set NIC attributes for Embedded NIC 2

Create a targeted config job for Embedded NIC 2 with a scheduled

start time of TIME_NOW, but ensure not to schedule a reboot.

Set NIC attributes for Embedded NIC 3, create targeted job for

Embedded NIC 3 with a scheduled start time of TIME_NOW and also

specify a reboot type.

The iDRAC restarts the system according to the method defined by the

reboot type, and all the jobs are executed at one time.

Specifying the Start time and Until time

The CreateTargetedConfigJob() and SetupJobQueue() methods accept the

start times ScheduledStartTime and StartTimeInterval and until parameter.

The parameter data type is CIM date-time. If the StartTime parameter is

null, the action is not started. The date-time data type is defined in the

format as follows:

YYYYMMDDhhmmss

Where:

• YYYY is the year

• MM is the month
