Prerequisites for script: Set script variables by editing script
Script: setNICs_iSCSI_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) ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICView and DCIM_SoftwareIdentity classes to collect information
about the system. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
C) Enable CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart), if not enabled
a. SetAttribute(): Sets attribute to be configured [ReturnValue=0]
b. CreateConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration [ReturnValue=4096]
c. Poll jobstatus for Completed:
GET the InstanceID of from B). See section 2.3 for
a definition of
GET.
D) ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICEnumeration, DCIM_NICString, DCIM_NICInteger, and
DCIM_BIOSEnumeration classes to collect information about the system. See section 2.2
for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
E) SetBIOSAttributes(): Set all the following attributes, if at least one is not set to desired
value
a. EmbNic1Nic2=Enabled
b. BootMode=BIOS
c. ProcVirtualization= Enabled
d. ErrPrompt=Disabled
e. EmbNic1=Enabled
F) CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Apply step E) with reboot type 3 and ScheduledStartTime
parameter of TIME_NOW, which invokes the operation immediately [ReturnValue=4096]
G) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from F). See section 2.3 for a
definition of
GET.
