Simple NIC Methods
These methods are used to apply NIC, FCOE, and iSCSI attributes to LAN
on motherboards, add-in NICs, and CNAs in the system. Each of the
methods have their own set of input and output parameters. The methods
have specific return code values. There are four different methods under the
NIC service class:
•The SetAttribute() method is used to set or change the value of a NIC
attribute.
•The SetAttributes() method is used to set or change the values of a group
of attributes.
•The CreateTargetedConfigJob() method is used to apply the pending
values created by the SetAttribute and SetAttributes methods. The
successful execution of this method creates a job for application of
pending attribute values.
NOTE: Subsequent calls to the CreateTargetedConfigJob() method after the
first CreateTargetedConfigJob() method results in an error until the first job is
completed. If you invoke the CreateTargetedConfigJob() method multiple
times, older requests are overwritten or lost.
•The DeletePendingConfiguration() method cancels the pending
configuration (created using the SetAttribute and SetAttributes methods)
changes made before the configuration job is created with
CreateTargetedConfigJob() .
