G) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect information
about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE.
H) Enable the HD boot source
I) ChangeBootSourceState(): Use InstanceID=IPL EnabledState=1 source=(instanceID from F)
GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE.
Change NIC boot source
J) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect information
about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .
Check NIC boot order
K) ChangeBootOrderByInstanceID(): Use InstanceID=IPL source=(instanceID from I)
SetNICAttributes(): Set the attribute LegacyBootProto to the value “FCoE” and the other
desired NIC attributes and values
L) CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Use Target=(BIOS FQDD)
ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1
M) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from F). See section 2.3 for a definition of
GET.
4.27 FCoE boot using Intel (12
th
Generatioin only)
This workflow sets several NIC attributes, including setup of Fiber Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE), by first setting the attributes for the operation and then changing the boot order for
the NIC. Approximate time for completion on a 12G system is 20-30 minutes depending on the
system configuration.
Applies to: LC2+
Prerequisites for script:
 Intel NIC Mezz card
 Set desired script variables by editing script
NOTES:
 Make sure Mezz NIC is enabled
If not enabled, enable it and find NIC FQDD, reboot
 Enable ConnectFirstFCoETarget
Check if ConnectFirstFCoETarget is enabled, if not enable it
Configure FCoE, reboot
 Move FCoE to the top of the HD Boot List
