A tool to manager BIOS settings for a system.

Usage

usage: rf_bios_settings.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST
                           [--system SYSTEM] [--attribute name value]
                           [--workaround] [--debug]

A tool to manager BIOS settings for a system

required arguments:
  --user USER, -u USER  The user name for authentication
  --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
                        The password for authentication
  --rhost RHOST, -r RHOST
                        The address of the Redfish service (with scheme)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --system SYSTEM, -s SYSTEM
                        The ID of the system to manage
  --attribute name value, -a name value
                        Sets a BIOS attribute to a new value; can be supplied
                        multiple times to set multiple attributes
  --workaround, -workaround
                        Indicates if workarounds should be attempted for non-
                        conformant services
  --debug               Creates debug file showing HTTP traces and exception

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the system collection for the service to find the matching system specified by the system argument.

  • If system is not specified, and if the service has exactly one system, it will perform the operation on the one system.

The tool will then get the BIOS resource for the matching system.

  • If attribute is specified, it will update the BIOS resource with the new attribute value.
  • If attribute is not specified, it will display the BIOS settings.

Example; display attributes:

$ rf_bios_settings.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100
