Lifecycle Controller Integration―Best Practices Specification

 CreateBIOSConfigJob()

 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1

 Poll jobstatus for Completed

B) Check partition is enabled, if not enable it as follows

AttributeName=NicPartitioning AttributeValue=Enabled

C) Configure FCoE

1. Disable all sources

2. Create BIOS job

3. Set the following attributes

LegacyBootProto=FCoE

ConnectFirstFCoETarget=Enabled

FCoEOffloadMode=Enabled

FCoETgtBoot=Enabled

VirtWWPN=your WWPN address

FirstFCoEWWPNTarget=your FirstFCoEWWPNTarget address

FirstFCoEBootTargetLUN=your FirstFCoEBootTargetLUN value

D) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect

information about the boot sources.

E) Loop through all boot sources, until find the NIC, then enable the NIC boot source

4.29 IO Identity for QLogic (12G only)

This workflow sets IO Identity, which are the following: virtual Mac address, virtual iSCSI Mac

address, virtual FIP Mac address, virtual WWN, and virtual WWPN. This workflow is for Qlogic

cards only.

This script has been tested on Qlogic Mezz card, slot 2 with the following setting. Different

cards or different slots require modifications to the script.

 $nic=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-1

 $nic2=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-2

 $nic3=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-3

 $nic4=NIC.Mezzanine.2B-1-4

 $nicAttributeName=Slot2

The script is an example for set IO identity for the following card setting:

 Partition 1: NIC

 Partition 3: iSCSI

 Partition 4: FCoE
