Lifecycle Controller Integration―Best Practices Specification
34
B) [LC1.5.1 only] Disable CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart).
NOTE: On 11G systems, CSIOR must be disabled to circumvent a sync behavior that
prohibits successful RAID stacking.
a. SetAttribute(): Sets attribute to be configured [ReturnValue=0]
b. CreateConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration [ReturnValue=4096]
C) ENUMERATE the DCIM_ControllerView class to find RAID controller’s instanceID & FQDD
(they are often identical.) See Section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
a. Integrated RAID card example is ”RAID.Integrated.1-1”
b. External RAID card example is ”RAID.Slot.1-1”
D) ResetConfig(): Delete all virtual disks and unassign all HotSpare physical disks.
[ReturnValue=0].
E) CreateVirtualDisk(): RAID 1 on physical disk 0 & 1, for example. [ReturnValue=0].
F) AssignSpare(): Create dedicated hotspare using Create VD instanceID [ReturnValue=0].
G) CreateRAIDConfigJob(): Apply steps D) – F) without reboot type, without UntilTime, and
without ScheduledStartTime parameter TIME_NOW. [ReturnValue=4096].
H) SetAttribute(): Set BIOS attribute EmbNic1Nic2 to Enabled [ReturnValue=0]
I) CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Apply step H) without reboot type, without UntilTime, and
without ScheduledStartTime parameter TIME_NOW. [ReturnValue=4096]
J) CreateRebootJob(): Pass RebootJobType of 3 parameter
1 = PowerCycle
2 = Graceful reboot without forced shutdown
3 = Graceful reboot with forced shutdown
K) SetupJobQueue(): Use RAID JID(G), BIOS JID(J), and reboot RID(K) [ReturnValue=0]
L) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from G) or J). See section 2.3 for a
definition of
GET.
M) 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.
The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’, while
the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
N) ENUMERATE the DCIM_VirtualDiskView class to ensure successful virtual disk creation.
See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
a. RAIDTypes parameter will be 4, for a RAID 1 configuration
b. PhysicalDiskIDS parameter will list physical disks used
O) ENUMERATE the DCIM_PhysicalDiskView class to ensure successful hotspare assignments.
See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
