BIOS and Boot Management Profile 1 Scope The BIOS and Boot Management Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent the configuration of the system BIOS setup and to manage the boot of the system. The system BIOS setup is modeled with multiple attributes that allow configuration of the BIOS. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Table 1 – Related Profiles 6 Profile Name Organization Version Relationship Profile Registration Profile DMTF 1.0 Mandatory Description The BIOS and Boot Management Profile describes BIOS setup configuration including boot management.
Figure 2 represents the class schema for the boot management feature of the BIOS and Boot Management Profile. For simplicity, the prefix CIM_ has been removed from the names of the classes. Each boot list is represented by a DCIM_BootConfigSetting instance. Each of the boot lists contains the boot devices/sources represented by DCIM_BootSourceSetting, shown underneath their corresponding boot lists in the figure below.
7 Implementation Requirements Requirements and guidelines for propagating and formulating certain properties of the classes are discussed in this section. Methods are listed in section 8. Table 2 shows the instances of CIM Elements for this profile. Instances of the CIM Elements shall be implemented as described in Table 2. Sections 7 (“Implementation Requirements” and “Methods”) may impose additional requirements on these elements.

8 Methods This section details the requirements for supporting intrinsic operations and extrinsic methods for the CIM elements defined by this profile. 8.1 CIM_BIOSService.SetAttribute( ) The SetAttribute( ) method is used to set or change the value of a BIOS attribute. Invocation of the SetAttribute( ) method shall change the value of the attribute’s CurrentValue or attribute’s PendingValue property to the value specified by the AttributeValue parameter if the attribute’s IsReadOnly property is FALSE.
8.2 DCIM_BIOSService.SetAttributes( ) The SetAttributes( ) method is used to set or change the values of a group of attributes. Invocation of the SetAttributes( ) method shall change the values of the attribute’s CurrentValue or PendingValue properties that correspond to the names specified by the AttributeName parameter and the values specified by the AttributeValue parameter if the respective attribute’s IsReadOnly property is FALSE.
1. RebootJobType: when provided in the input parameters, creates a specific reboot job to “PowerCycle” or “Graceful Reboot without forced shutdown” or “Graceful Reboot with forced shutdown”. This parameter only creates the RebootJob and does not schedule it. 2. ScheduledStartTime: When provided in the input parameters, schedules the “configuration job” and the optional “reboot job” at the specified start time. A special value of “TIME_NOW” schedules the job(s) immediately. 3.
8.4 DCIM_BIOSService.DeletePendingConfiguration( ) The DeletePendingConfiguration( ) method is used to cancel the pending values created by the SetAttribute and SetAttributes methods. The DeletePendingConfiguration( ) method cancels the pending configuration changes made before the configuration job is created with CreateTargetedConfigJob(). This method only operates on the pending changes prior to CreateTargetedConfigJob() being called.

9.8 Get the first boot configuration’s information The URI for getting particular instance information is deterministic (i.e the InstanceID will be unique for each instance) For the first boot configuration in the system, the instance URI will be: http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/2/DCIM_BootConfigSetting?__cimnamespace=root/dcim+InstanceID=IPL The instance of DCIM_BootConfigSetting that contains the information on the first boot configuration will be returned 9.
B) ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class as shown in 9.9 and identify the boot source InstanceID. The CurrentEnabledStatus attribute of each instance identifies whether it is enable or disabled C) To invoke the ChangeBootSourceState() method, extract the instance information from A) and B) and construct the input parameters per Table 30 in section 8.5. D) INVOKE ChangeBootSourceState() method Class URI: http://schemas.dmtf.
