- Table 29 – DCIM_FCService.SetAttribute() Method: Return Code Values
- The SetAttributes() method is used to set or change the values of a group of attributes.
- Table 32 – DCIM_FCService.SetAttributes() Method: Return Code Values
- The CreateTargetedConfigJob() method is used to apply the pending values created by the SetAttribute and SetAttributes methods. The successful execution of this method creates a job for application of pending attribute values.
- CreateTargetedConfigJob method supports the following optional input parameters
- 1. RebootJobType: When provided in the input parameters, creates a specific reboot job to “PowerCycle”, “Graceful Reboot without forced shutdown”, or “Graceful Reboot with forced shutdown”. This parameter only creates the RebootJob and does not schedu...
- 2. ScheduledStartTime: When provided in the input parameters, schedules the “configuration job” and the optional “reboot job” at the specified start time. A special value of “TIME_NOW” schedules the job(s) immediately.
- 3. UntilTime: This parameter has a dependency on “ScheduledStartTime”, together “ScheduledStartTime” and “UntilTime” define a time window for scheduling the job(s). Once scheduled, jobs will be executed within the time window.
- If CreateTargetedConfigJob method is executed without the three optional parameters discussed above, then configuration job is created but not scheduled. However, this configuration job can be scheduled later using the DCIM_JobService.SetupJobQueue ()...

6.1 Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD)
286
Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) is a component identifier that uniquely represents a specific
287
system device or component in a platform independent of the operating system, and the device vendor.
288
The DCIM data model utilizes FQDDs to correlate different aspects of representing a component, such as
289
hardware inventory view, configurable attribute, software inventory and so on. FQDDs are used by
290
software, such as BIOS, UEFI applications that link Unified Server Configurator (USC), and remote
291
management applications to identify various system components in a persistent way.
292
For FC HBA, the FQDD is used to uniquely identify a particular port. See Table 2 - FC HBA FQDD
293
examples.
