Lifecycle Controller Integration―Best Practices Specification

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 EmbNicPort1BootProto to Pxe and
EmbNicPort2BootProto to None [ReturnValue=0]
e. CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration immediately with
reboot job type of 3 [ReturnValue=4096]
NOTE: The following polling is for SSIB task
f. The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before
executing any other WSMAN commands.
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
D) Sleep 500 seconds to allow PXE boot to occur. Users would then select applicable PXE boot
options before continuing.
Proceed to step E) to disable PXE boot.
E) Call subroutine sub_setEmbNICs_NIC1_NIC2_12G.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 EmbNicPort1BootProto to None and
EmbNicPort2BootProto to None [ReturnValue=0]
e. CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration immediately with
reboot job type of 3 [ReturnValue=4096]

f. The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before
executing any other WSMAN commands.

4.20 Set NIC Attributes and iSCSI boot using setupjobqueue (11G
only)
This workflow sets several NIC attributes, including setup of iSCSI boot, by first setting the
required attributes for the operation, and then changing the boot order for the NIC.
