13 Zero-touch, bare-metal server provisioning using the Dell EMC iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller Auto Config
Enable once after reset (2): Performs
configuration after iDRAC is reset.
Enable always (3): Always performs
configuration
Values = {“0”,”1”,”2”,”3”}
To set NIC.1#AutoConfig by using WS-Man, use the ApplyAttribute method which will set the pending
value, create a target configuration job, and then apply the change immediately. Here is an example WS-Man
workflow by using the winrm command to set NIC.1#AutoConfig. In this workflow, the current value of
NIC.1#AutoConfig will be checked, a job created to set a new value, job status queried to verify success,
and then verified that the value of NIC.1#AutoConfig has changed.
1. Get the current Auto Config value:
C:\winrm g http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/DCIM_iDRACCardEnumeration?InstanceID=iDRAC.Embedded.1#NIC.1#AutoConfi
g -u:root -p:calvin -r:https://192.168.0.120/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -

AttributeDisplayName = Auto Configuration enable
AttributeName = AutoConfig
CurrentValue = Disabled
DefaultValue = Disabled
Dependency = null
DisplayOrder = 69

GroupDisplayName = NIC Information
GroupID = NIC.1
InstanceID = iDRAC.Embedded.1#NIC.1#AutoConfig

2. Set the updated Auto Config value:
