The above command takes in an input file named UpdateInputBIOS.xml to supply input parameters
required for the InstallFromURI() method.
The syntax for UpdateInputBIOS.xml is:
<p:InstallFromURI_INPUT xmlns:p="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService">
<p:URI>http://[URI-IP-ADDRESS]/[PATH-TO-EXE]/[FILE.exe]</p:URI>
<p:Target xmlns:a="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing"
xmlns:w="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd">
<a:Address>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/role/anonymous</a:Address>
<a:ReferenceParameters>
<w:ResourceURI>http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/DCIM_SoftwareIdentity</w:ResourceURI>
<w:SelectorSet>
<w:Selector Name="InstanceID">[INSTANCEID]</w:Selector>
</w:SelectorSet>
</a:ReferenceParameters>
</p:Target>
</p:InstallFromURI_INPUT>
In the above sample, the [URI-IP-ADDRESS] must be replaced with the actual value of the IP address of
the server that stores update content, [PATH-TO-EXE] must be replaced with the applicable path to the
executable, [FILE.exe] must be replaced with the executable name, and [INSTANCEID] should be
replaced with the actual InstanceID of the device to be updated.
OUTPUT:
When this method is executed, a jobid or an error message is returned. This jobid can then be used
for subsequent processing with job control provider in section 10.
