Hi, I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but I'm trying to change the boot order and boot sequence on an FC430 using firmware v2.70.70.70.

We want to set the Boot Mode to BIOS from UEFI, which works fine and is completed following the below in two RACADM commands.

* set BIOS.BiosBootSettings.BootMode BIOS

* jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1 -r pwrcycle

 

Once the FC430 is rebooted we then, want to set the boot sequence, so we run the below three RACADM commands, the second 'get' command is just confirming the iDrac has received the boot sequence changes.

 

* set BIOS.BiosBootSettings.BootSeq NIC.Embedded.1-1-1,HardDisk.List.1-1,Unknown.Unknown.1-1, Unknown.Unknown.2-1

* get BIOS.BiosBootSettings.BootSeq (Pending Value=NIC.Embedded.1-1-1,HardDisk.List.1-1,Unknown.Unknown.1-1,Unknown.Unknown.2-1)

* jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1 -r pwrcycle

 

The FC430 then reboots and enters the 'Automate Task Application' screen and starts to run the task to make the changes, however the task never completes within the given 10 minute task time limit? The task times out and fails at 34% (in the iDrac Job Queue), the FC430 then reboots without changing the boot sequence.

Oddly, if I then run the 'Get' RACADM command again it still shows the task as pending?

I hope the above makes sense, can anyone advise what I could be doing wrong please? - thanks in advance.
