14.2 Getting a Boot ConfigSetting Instance
Getting the boot configuration current, default, and next attributes of one particular boot configuration
instance is an alternative to enumerating all available instances as shown in Section 14.1.
Get a BootConfigSetting instance with the following parameters and syntax:
[INSTANCEID]: This is obtained from the enumeration in Section 14.1, in which this
example uses an IPL as an instanceID.
EXAMPLE:
wsman get http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_BootConfigSetting
?InstanceID=[INSTANCEID]
-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD -j utf-8 -y basic
OUTPUT:
<n1:DCIM_BootConfigSetting>
<n1:ElementName>BootSeq</n1:ElementName>
<n1:InstanceID>IPL</n1:InstanceID>
<n1:IsCurrent>2</n1:IsCurrent>
<n1:IsDefault>0</n1:IsDefault>
<n1:IsNext>2</n1:IsNext>

14.3 Listing the Boot Inventory-SourceSetting Class
Each Boot Configuration Representation contains an ordered list of boot sources, which indicate
the logical devices to use during the boot process.
Enumerate the BootSourceSetting class with the following parameters and syntax:
EXAMPLE:
wsman enumerate http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/
2/root/dcim/DCIM_BootSourceSetting
-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD -j utf-8 -y basic
OUTPUT:
<n1:DCIM_BootSourceSetting>
<n1:BIOSBootString>Embedded SATA Port A Optical: SATA Optical Drive
BootSeq</n1:BIOSBootString>
The ChangeBootOrderByInstanceID
method in Section 14.4 will use the
InstanceID field as input.
