17.4  Setting Multiple BIOS BootMode Parameters 
Users can find and set multiple BIOS attributes associated with a specific device using the 
SetAttributes() method. This example illustrates how to set the BiosMode and BootSeqRetry 
parameters. 
Invoke SetAttributes() with the following parameters (from Section 17.1) and syntax: 
TARGET: Obtained from the InstanceID field 
AttributeName: Obtained from the AttributeName field 
AttributeValue: Obtained from the PossibleValues field 
EXAMPLE: 
wsman invoke -a SetAttributes http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_BIOSService 
?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem,

Name=DCIM:BIOSService -h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443 
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD -J SetAttributes_BIOS.xml -j utf-8 -y basic
