14 Standards-based NIC and FC-HBA management for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
Note: This PATCH command will create and schedule the configuration job but it WILL NOT reboot the server
to apply the change. When ready, use POST a command with ACTION “ComputerSystem.Reset” to reboot
the server; this will cause iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller to execute the job and apply the changes.
The example below illustrates using the Python script SetNetworkDevicePropertiesRedfish.py
from the Dell EMC Redfish Scripting GitHub repository to inventory the server’s network devices, display their
current settings, and then set the iSCSI boot network properties.
Note: A best practice is to first run the script with the –h option to view the help text which explains the
supported parameters and values and provides usage examples.
