Remote NIC Configuration Management
NIC configuration methods
 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.
Subsequent calls to the CreateTargetedConfigJob() method after the first
CreateTargetedConfigJob() method results in an error until the first job is completed. However, the
user can delete the current job and create a new job using CreateTargetedConfigJob().
 The DeletePendingConfiguration() method cancels the pending configuration (created using
the SetAttribute and SetAttributes methods) changes made before the configuration job is
created with CreateTargetedConfigJob().
Script work flows
Pull and Push
This use case demonstrates cloning of the NIC configuration using two-step process: Pull (read from
Lifecycle Controller) followed by a Push (write to another Lifecycle Controller).
