LC Integration Best Practices Specification

4) port settings are configured against partition 1

(NIC.Integrated.1-1-1) but the boot target will show up on partition 4

(BCV:BIOS.Setup.1-1#HddSeq#NIC.Integrated.1-1-4)

Applies to: LC2+

Prerequisites for script:

 QLogic NDC

 Set desired script variables by editing script

 FQDD must be NIC.Integrated.1-1-1 (for port setting) and NIC.Integrated.1-1-4

(for boot target setting)

Script: FCoEboot-12gNDC-qlogic.win

A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any other

WSMAN commands. The GetRSStatus() method or the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() method

may be used depending on the version of the LC Management registered profile.

1. System should be power off

2. Clear all unfinished jobs

3. Clear all pending data

B) Check NDC is enabled

1. GetBIOSEnumerations(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class to collect

information about the system. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE.

2. Ensure AttributeName of IntegratedNetwork1 is enabled

If it is not enabled, enable it as shown below

 SetBIOSAttributes()

AttributeName=IntegratedNetwork1 AttributeValue=Enabled

AttributeName=BootMode AttributeValue=Bios

 CreateBIOSConfigJob()

 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1

 Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from 2).

C) CheckConnectFirstFCoETarge(): ENUMERATE the NIC FADD and check if

ConnectFirstFCoETarget is eabled, if not, enable ConnectFirstFCoETarget as show below

 Disable all sources

 Create BIOS job

 SetNICAttributes()

AttributeName=ConnectFirstFCoETarget AttributeValue=Enabled

 CreateNICConfigJob with RebootJobType=1

D) Configure FCoE

1. Disable all sources

2. Create BIOS job

3. Set Partition Attributes as follows:

SetNICAttributes() on NIC.Integrated.1-1-4
