NOTE: The system must reboot to execute the task of setting the attribute or attributes.
8. Query the status of the job ID output using the job control profile methods.
9. Repeat step 5 to confirm successful execution of the method.
Deleting the Pending Values
To delete the pending values:
1. Before invoking the DeletePendingConfiguration() method in DCIM_JobService class, construct input
parameters and use the correct Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) of the Network Device.
NOTE: You can only delete pending data before creating a target job. After the target job is created, you cannot run
this method. If required, you can invoke the DeleteJobQueue() method to delete the job and clear the pending
values. However, the method does not work if the system has restarted and the job has started execution.
2. Invoke the DeletePendingConfiguration() method.
3. You can confirm the deletion based on the method return code value that is returned.
Enabling or Disabling the Partition on the CNA
NOTE: Even if you disable the NicPartitioning property or the PartitionState property, partition 1 cannot be disabled.
To enable or disable a partition on the CNA:
1. Enumerate the DCIM_NICEnumeration class and identify the current value of the instances of the class with
NicMode, iScsiOffloadMode, and FCoEOffloadMode and their FQDD properties.
2. For the identified partition, use the FQDD property and invoke the SetAttribute() method to enable or disable the
partition.
NOTE: The partition is enabled even if one of the modes are active.
3. Run the Get command on the attribute to see the updated value in the pending field.
4. Before invoking the CreateTargetedConfigJob() method, construct the input parameters (Target, RebootJobType,
ScheduledStartTime, UntilTime, and so on).
If more than one partition on a port has a configuration change, do not specify RebootJobType and
ScheduledStartTime. Schedule the job using the job control profile methods. Go to step 6 to create the jobs. See the
Simple NIC Profile document at delltechcenter.com/page/DCIM.Library to see the list of all the supported input
parameters.
5. Invoke the CreateTargetedConfigJob() method to apply the pending values. If this method is successful, the system
returns a job ID for the created configuration task.
NOTE: Reboot system to execute the task of setting the attribute or attributes.
6. Create a reboot job with CreateRebootJob() and schedule all the partition jobs and the reboot job using
SetupJobQueue().
NOTE: Pending changes on the partitions are lost if partition jobs are not scheduled to run together.
7. Query the status of the job ID output using the job control profile methods.
8. Repeat step 1 to confirm successful execution of the method.
