Frequently asked questions

How to find the boot order (sequence) of the boot configuration using DCIM_OrderedComponent.AssignedSequence property?

When a DCIM_BootConfigSetting instance (Legacy or UEFI) has multiple DCIM_BootSourceSetting instances (boot devices) associated with it through instances of the DCIM_OrderedComponent association, the value of the DCIM_OrderedComponent.AssignedSequence property is used to determine the sequence in which the associated DCIM_BootSourceSetting instances (boot devices) are used during the boot process. A DCIM_BootSourceSetting, whose associated CIM_OrderedComponent.AssignedSequence property is equal to 0 is ignored and not considered part of the boot order.

How to change the boot order?

The boot order can be changed using the DCIM_BootConfigSetting.ChangeBootOrder() method. The ChangeBootOrder() method sets the order in which the instances of DCIM_BootSourceSetting are associated with a DCIM_BootConfigSetting instance. The method has one input parameter; Source. The Source parameter, is an ordered array of PartComponent property from DCIM_OrderedComponent class that represents the association between DCIM_BootSourceSetting instances (boot devices) and DCIM_BootConfigSetting instance (boot list type-Legacy or UEFI).

How to disable boot devices?

On changing the boot order, the value of the AssignedSequence property on each instance of DCIM_OrderedComponent, that associates the target DCIM_BootConfigSetting instance with a DCIM_BootSourceSetting instance that is not present in the input array of Source parameter, is set to 0, which indicates that the device is disabled.

Fail login message appear when connect to namespace with wbemtest. How can I overcome that?

Launch wbemtest with Administrator privilege level to overcome any login message. Go to the Internet Explorer from the All Programs list, right-click and Run as administrator to start the wbemtest and avoid any namespace oriented error.

How do I run TechCenter scripts without any issues?

The following are the prerequisites while executing the VBS scripts provided in Dell Command | Monitor Techcenter link:
  1. Please configure winrm on the system using the command winrm quickconfig.
  2. Check if the token support exists on the system by referring to:
    • The F2 Screen in BIOS Setup.
    • Using tool like wbemtest to check the key value define in the script to be existing on the system.
    • NOTE: Dell recommends using the latest BIOS available at dell.com/support. For more information, refer Dell Command | Monitor Reference guide at dell.com/dellclientcommandsuitemanuals.

How to set the BIOS attributes?

BIOS Attributes can be changed using the DCIM_BootService.SetBIOSAttributes() method. The SetBIOSAttributes() method sets the value of the instance defined in the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class. The method has seven input parameters. The first two parameters can be empty or null. The third parameter AttributeName needs to take the input mapping to the value of attribute name instance of DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class. The fourth parameter or AttributeValue can be any of the possible values of the Attribute Name as defined in the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class. If the BIOS Password is set on the system, then you have to provide the same in the fifth argument. The sixth and seventh argument can again be empty or null.
