60 Lifecycle Controller Integration Best Practices Guide
[Pre-LC2] NOTE: The following RS Status polling is for CSIOR, assuming its enabled
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.’
H) ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICString class and ensure the attributes were applied correctly. See section 2.2 for a
definition of ENUMERATE .
4.25 Export LC Log
This workflow exports the LC log to either an NFS or CIFS share. Approximate time for completion on an 12G system
is 5 minutes depending on the system configuration.
Applies to: LC1.5.0+
Prerequisites for script:
 Set script variables by editing script
Script: ExportLCLog.win
A) 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.
B) ExportLCLlog(): Invokes the export operation [ReturnValue=4096]
Note: The user must set applicable IP address, username, password, filename, and workgroup of the network share.
C) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from D). See section 2.3 for a definition of GET.
4.26 FCoE boot using QLogic (12th Generation and later version of servers
only)
This workflow sets several NIC attributes, including setup of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), by first setting the
attributes for the operation and then changing the boot order for the NIC. Approximate time for completion on a 12G
system is 20-30 minutes depending on the system configuration.
The four high level steps, which may require 3 reboots, are the following:
1) If the NDC is disabled, 1 job to enable it in bios and reboot
2) Now that the card is present, if FCoE offload on 1-1-4 is disabled, enable it Once FCoE is enabled, configure FCoE,
but it will not show up in the boot order until after reboot
