Lifecycle Controller Integration―Best Practices Specification

 Edit script to set desired parameters
 FQDD must be NIC.Integrated.1-1-1 or NIC.Integrated.1-1
Script: iscsiboot-12gNDC-qlogic.win
The four high level steps, which may require four reboots, are the following:
1) If the NDC is disabled, 1 job to enable it in bios and reboot
2) Now that the card is present, if iscsi offload on 1-3 is disabled, create a job and reboot to
enable it
3) Once iSCSI is enabled, configure iSCSI, but it will not show up in the boot order until after
reboot
4) Once it is in the boot order, move it to the top of the HD list
A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any
other WSMAN commands.
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus():
B) GetBIOSEnumerations(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class to collect
information about the system. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
 Ensure AttributeName of IntegratedNetwork1 is enabled
 If it is not enabled, enable it as shown below
 SetBIOSAttributes()
 AttributeName=IntegratedNetwork1 AttributeValue=Enabled
 AttributeName=BootMode AttributeValue=Bios
 CreateBIOSConfigJob()
 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1
 Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from 2).
C) GetNICViews: ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICVIEW class to collect information about the NIC
FQDDs. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
 Check if specified FQDD is present in NICViews, If not, go to NICError
D) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
 Loop through all boot sources, if boot source is IPL entry, set EnabledState=0 unless
HD
E) ChangeBootSourceState(): Use InstanceID=IPL EnabledState=0 source=(instanceID from D)
F) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
 Enable the HD boot source
