performed using omconfig.
NOTE: Although the following table lists all possible omconfig commands, the commands available on the system depend 
on the system configuration. If you try to get help or run a command for a component not installed on the system, 
Server Administrator displays a message that the component or feature is not found on the system.
NOTE: When CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart) is disabled, omconfig does not allow to configure the BIOS 
settings.
