51 Lifecycle Controller Integration Best Practices Guide
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 running 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.’
E) Sleep 500 seconds to allow PXE boot to occur. Users would then select applicable PXE boot options before
continuing.
Proceed to step F) to disable PXE boot.
F) 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 Enabled [ReturnValue=0]
d. SetAttribute(): Set child attributes EmbNic1 and EmbNic2 to Enabled [ReturnValue=0]
e. CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Creates jobID and applies configuration immediately with reboot job type of 3
[ReturnValue=4096]

GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’

4.19 PXE Boot Using Embedded NICs (12th Generation and Later Version of
Servers Only)
This workflow performs a reboot of the host OS into the PXE boot configuration by first setting the embNic1Nic2 parent
attribute and EmbNicPort1BootProto (to Pxe) and EmbNicPort2BootProto (to None) child attributes. Approximate time
for completion on a 12G system is 10-30 minutes depending on the system configuration.
Applies to: LC2+
Prerequisites for script: None
Script: PXEboot_NIC1_NIC2_12G.win
