Reinitiating auto discovery 
You may choose to set the provisioning server during reinitiating auto-discovery. Use the following 
WSMAN command to reinitialize auto-discovery. 
EXAMPLE: 
winrm i ReInitiateDHS cimv2/root/dcim/DCIM_LCService 
?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem 
+CreationClassName=DCIM_LCService 
+SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem+Name=DCIM:LCService 
-u:[USERNAME] -p:[PASSWORD] -r:https://[IPADDRESS]/wsman  
-encoding:utf-8 -a:basic -file:ReInitiateDHS.xml 
The input file ReInitiateDHS.xml containing the parameters for the ReInitiateDHS method is shown 
below: 
<p:ReInitiateDHS_INPUT xmlns:p="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_LCService"> 
 <p:ProvisioningServer>[PS_IP_ADDRESS]</p:ProvisioningServer> 
 <p:ResetToFactoryDefaults>TRUE</p:ResetToFactoryDefaults> 
 <p:PerformAutoDiscovery>3</p:PerformAutoDiscovery> 
</p:ReInitiateDHS_INPUT> 
The PerformAutoDiscovery attribute can have the following values: 
1 = off (disables auto discovery) 
2 = Now (enables and initiates auto discovery immediately ) 
3 = NextBoot (delay reconfiguration & auto discovery until next power 
cycle) 
Getting the provisioning server 
The following WSMAN command will display the provisioning server on the iDRAC.
