NOTE: Before using the SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT command in UEFI mode, use

GET_PERSISTENT_BOOT to retrieve the list of available boot selections. A server in UEFI mode

does not have unique selections, as opposed to a non-UEFI server, or a UEFI server running in

legacy mode.

SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT parameters

Base the parameters sent with the SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT command on the BootXXXX values

available returned by the GET_PERSISTENT_BOOT command. For example, assume the following

is returned from the GET command, indicating Boot0009 is the primary boot selection:

<PERSISTENT_BOOT>

<DEVICE value="Boot0009" DESCRIPTION="Embedded FlexibleLOM 1 Port 1 : HP

Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331FLR Adapter - NIC (IPv4) "/>

<DEVICE value="Boot0007" DESCRIPTION="Embedded SAS : Smart Array P830i

Controller - 68 GB, RAID 0 Logical Drive(Target:0, Lun:0)"/>

<DEVICE value="Boot0008" DESCRIPTION="Embedded FlexibleLOM 1 Port 1 : HP

Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331FLR Adapter - NIC (IPv6) "/>

</PERSISTENT_BOOT>

The UEFI boot order is based on the order of the device values. To change the UEFI boot order,

for example so that the Windows Boot Manager is first:

<SERVER_INFO MODE="write">

<SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT>

</SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT>

</SERVER_INFO>

</LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

Alternatively, you can list only the device value that should be first (<DEVICE value =

"Boot000D" />). Any devices not specified in the SET command are moved to the end of the

list, just as they are handled in Legacy mode.

NOTE: The DEVICE values are case sensitive, and must be entered exactly as they are shown in

the return from GET_PERSISTENT_BOOT.

SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT runtime errors

Some possible error messages you may see when running this command:

• DEVICE is invalid.

• Invalid device choice.

• No UEFI Target boot device with the specified BootXXXX is available

• Unable to allocate memory.

• Boot mode is unknown.

GET_ONE_TIME_BOOT

The GET_ONE_TIME_BOOT command retrieves the current setting for the one time boot. The

specified user must have a valid iLO account to execute RIBCL commands. For this command to

parse correctly, the command must appear within a SERVER_INFO command block, and

SERVER_INFO MODE must be set to read.
