setting of First Boot Device via commandline
I am trying to set boot devices via racadm commands on the CMC. I can attach an image, however unless I have manually set VirtualCD to be my primary boot device, the blade will boot off the hard drive.
Many resources recommend ipmitool to change bios boot devices remotely, however I can only find Linux distributions.
How do I set the boot device via ssh/commandline on Windows?
No Events found!

The blades are M610s in an M1000e chassis...

To PXE boot a system once, we log in to the idrac (not CMC) via ssh and run the following commands:
racadm config -g cfgServerInfo -o cfgServerBootOnce 1
racadm config -g cfgServerInfo -o cfgServerFirstBootDevice PXE
racadm serveraction powercycle
I would assume you can make this boot once to the VirtualCD also.
If you want ipmi tool for windows check out Dell's repackage version called BMC Utility:
