1. Configuring Integrated NIC 1: Set the NIC attributes for Integrated NIC 1 and create a targeted configuration job for
Integrated NIC 1 with a scheduled start time of TIME_NOW, but make sure not to schedule a reboot.
2. Configuring Integrated NIC 2: Set NIC attributes for Integrated NIC 2 and create a targeted configuration job for
Integrated NIC 2 with a scheduled start time of TIME_NOW, but make sure not to schedule a reboot.
3. Set NIC attributes for Integrated NIC 3, create targeted job for Integrated NIC 3 with a scheduled start time of
TIME_NOW and also specify a reboot type.
The iDRAC restarts the system according to the method defined by the reboot type, and all the jobs are executed at
one time.
Specifying the Start time and Until time
The CreateTargetedConfigJob() and SetupJobQueue() methods accept the start time parameters such as
ScheduledStartTime, StartTimeInterval, and UntilTime. The parameter data type is CIM date-time. If
the
StartTime parameter is null, the action is not started. The date-time data type is defined in the format
YYYYMMDDhhmmss, where:
• YYYY is the year
• MM is the month
• DD is the day
• hh is the hour
• mm is the minute
• ss is the second
For example, 20090930112030 — Type the date and time in this format for all the Lifecycle Controller updates, set
attributes, and CreateTargetedConfigJob() methods on different service classes. TIME_NOW is a special value that
represents running the tasks immediately.
Automatically Deleting Jobs
Jobs are automatically deleted when the number of jobs on the system is more than the StartAutoDeleteAtThreshold
property value in the DCIM_JobService class. All jobs that are completed (either successfully or not) for longer than
the
DeleteOnCompletionTimeout value in the DCIM_JobService class are deleted from the system.
NOTE: The DeleteOnCompletionTimeout value is changed using the SetDeleteOnCompletionTimeout method.
Clearing All Jobs
Use the DeleteJobQueue() method along with the keyword JID_CLEARALL for the job ID to clear all the jobs and any
pending configuration data associated with the jobs.
