UEFI HTTP one time boot IPv4 static IP
Hi All,
I have some servers (R6525) with iDrac 9 (4.40.10.00 right now) and I would like to boot them using uefi http boot with a static IP just once for installation. My use case is the server is dropped in a network without DHCP and I want to provision it. Ideally I don't want to keep the static configuration after provisioning.
curl -ks -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u root:calvin https://10.1.2.3/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/ -d '{"Boot": {"BootSourceOverrideMode": "UEFI","BootSourceOverrideTarget": "UefiTarget","UefiTargetBootSourceOverride": "PciRoot(0x7)/Pci(0x5,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/MAC(F40270CCBBAA)/IPv4(0.0.0.0)/Uri(http://1.2.3.4/ipxe.efi)"}}'
I've tried many syntax for the IPv4 part but everything is rejected except 'IPv4(w.x.y.z)'.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible or I need to configure the interface first then do a one time boot on it ?
Thanks

Hi, thanks for choosing Dell. I believe this should be directed to Redfish API. This is more about an IT language. Maybe we can wait to see other experts could chip in. Have a good one.

Nop, but I've stopped trying for now, I really would like to ditch PXE

Were you able to locate a solution for HTTP(S) booting via UEFI with iDRAC/Redfish? I am also trying to locate documentation on this topic but can't see any in the Redfish docs.
