N) DetachISOFromVFlash(): [ReturnValue=0].
O) DeleteISOFromVFlash(): [ReturnValue=0].
P) RequestMonoSystemStateChange(): Reboot to finish removal of OS [ReturnValue=0].
NOTE: Modular systems (i.e. M610, M710, etc.) use RequestModSystemStateChange().
4.5 Set Hard Disk Drive to ‘first’ in Boot Order
This workflow will set the hard drive(c:) to the top of the boot order. If the BootMode is set to
UEFI, it will set it to BIOS. Following completion of the reboot, the hard drive will be enabled
and set to boot first. Approximate time for completion that one can expect to encounter on an
12G system is 15-25 minutes, depending on whether an additional reboot is needed to set the
BootMode parameter.
Applies to: LC1.4.0+
Prerequisites for script: None
Script: Set_HD_Boot.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.
B) Change BootMode to BIOS, if current value is UEFI.
a. SetAttribute(): Sets attribute to be configured [ReturnValue=0]
b. CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration [ReturnValue=4096]
C) GetBootConfigSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootConfigSetting class to identify the
ElementName field containing BootSeq and corresponding InstanceID (IPL or UEFI). See
section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
ElementName = Hard drive C: BootSeq
D) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class. See section
2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
a. The CurrentAssignedSequence attribute of each instance defines the instance’s
place in the zero based indexed boot sequence
b. The CurrentEnabledStatus attribute defines whether the boot source, such as the
hard drive, is enabled
c. If the current sequence is 0 and the status is enable, skip to the end
E) ChangeBootOrderByInstanceID(): using instanceID = IPL [ReturnValue=0]
F) ChangeBootSourceState(): using instanceID = IPL and EnabledState=1 [ReturnValue=0]
G) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from E). See section 2.3 for a
definition of
GET.
