The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’,
while the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
E) Sleep 500 seconds to allow PXE boot to occur. Users would then select applicable PXE boot
options before continuing.
Proceed to step F) to disable PXE boot.
F) Call subroutine sub_setEmbNICs_NIC1_NIC2.win to perform the following:
a. GetBIOSEnumerations(): Enumerate the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration to obtain the
current values of EmbNic attributes
b. DeletePendingBIOSConfiguration(): Ensures there is no other pending BIOS
configuration
c. SetAttribute(): Set parent attribute EmbNic1Nic2 to Enabled [ReturnValue=0]
d. SetAttribute(): Set child attributes EmbNic1 and EmbNic2 to Enabled
[ReturnValue=0]
e. CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration immediately with
reboot job type of 3 [ReturnValue=4096]
NOTE: The following RS Status polling for SSIB task
f. The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’,
while the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
NOTE: The following RS Status polling is for PXE to be set in the boot list during CSIOR
g. The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’,
while the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
4.19 PXE Boot using Embedded NICs (12G only)
This workflow performs a reboot of the host OS into the PXE boot configuration by first setting
the embNic1Nic2 parent attribute and EmbNicPort1BootProto (to Pxe) and
EmbNicPort2BootProto (to None) child attributes. Approximate time for completion on a 12G
system is 10-30 minutes depending on the system configuration.
Applies to: LC2+
Prerequisites for script: None
Script: PXEboot_NIC1_NIC2_12G.win
A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any
other WSMAN commands.
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
B) Enable CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart)
a. SetAttribute(): Sets attribute to be configured [ReturnValue=0]
b. CreateConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration [ReturnValue=4096]
C) Call subroutine sub_setEmbNICs_NIC1_NIC2_12G.win to perform the following:
