T320/R320 - remote network boot

Hi,

I have T320 and R320 servers with IDRAC7.

I am searching for a mechanism by which I can reboot them remotely and ensure they network boot. However I do not want to set network boot permanently as the default boot option.

Does anyone know a solution for this?

Many thanks,

Andy

These commands will set PXE (primary onboard NIC) for the next boot then reboot the system. These commands will not prompt you with a PXE boot menu, but will just boot to the primary onboard NIC.

racadm config -g cfgServerInfo -o cfgServerBootOnce 1

racadm config -g cfgServerInfo -o cfgServerFirstBootDevice PXE

racadm serveraction powercycle

What OneTimeBootSeqDev would I specify to boot off of a PCI NIC instead of the onboard one?
