4.13 PXE Boot using embedded NICs (11G only)
This workflow performs a reboot of the host OS into the PXE boot configuration by first setting
the embNic1Nic2 parent attributes and embNic1 and embNic2 child attributes. Approximate
time for completion on an 11G system is 20-40 minutes depending on the system configuration.
Applies to: LC1.5.1+
Prerequisites for script: None
Script: PXEboot_NIC1_NIC2.win
A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any
other WSMAN commands. The GetRSStatus() method or the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
method may be used depending on the version of the LC Management registered profile.
B) Enable CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart)
a. SetAttribute(): Sets attribute to be configured [ReturnValue=0]
b. CreateConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration [ReturnValue=4096]
C) Call subroutine sub_setEmbNICs_NIC1_NIC2.win to perform the following:
a. GetBIOSEnumerations(): Enumerate the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration to obtain the
current values of EmbNic attributes
b. DeletePendingBIOSConfiguration(): Ensures there is no other pending BIOS
configuration
c. SetAttribute(): Set parent attribute EmbNic1Nic2 to DisabledOS [ReturnValue=0]
d. SetAttribute(): Set child attributes EmbNic1 and EmbNic2 to Disabled
[ReturnValue=0]
e. CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration immediately with
reboot job type of 3 [ReturnValue=4096]
NOTE: The following RS Status polling for SSIB task
f. The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before
executing any other WSMAN commands. The GetRSStatus() method or the
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() method may be used depending on the version of
the LC Management registered profile.
The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’,
while the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
NOTE: The following RS Status polling is for PXE to be set in the boot list during CSIOR
g. The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before
executing any other WSMAN commands. The GetRSStatus() method or the
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() method may be used depending on the version of
the LC Management registered profile.
The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’,
while the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
D) Call subroutine sub_setEmbNICs_NIC1_NIC2.win to perform the following:
