If you mean setting this from the iLO web interface, provided the system is not in POST, you would use:

Administration -> Boot Order -> Additional Options -> Boot to System Setup Utilities

However, after performing the above, you still need to manually reboot the system.

If you want to use the rest API, see these Linux and Windows examples:

https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-redfish-utility/blob/master/examples/Linux/Set_One_Time_Boot_Order.sh

https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-redfish-utility/blob/master/examples/Windows/Set_One_Time_Boot_Order.bat

For example:

# ilorest --nologo bootorder --onetimeboot=biossetup Discovering data...Done bootname is : Boot Order Pending Settings bootname is : Boot Order Current Settings bootpath is : /redfish/v1/systems/1/bios/oem/hpe/boot/ Added the following patch: { "Boot/BootSourceOverrideTarget": "BiosSetup" } Added the following patch: { "Boot/BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Once" } # ilorest --nologo commit Committing changes... The operation completed successfully. # ilorest --nologo reboot

For PowerShell cmdlets, see the "Set-TempBootOrder" function within:

Can you try logging out of the session first to see if that makes a difference, ie:

# ilorest --nologo logout Logging session out. # ilorest --nologo bootorder --onetimeboot=utilities --commit Discovering data...Done bootname is : Boot Order Current Settings bootname is : Boot Order Pending Settings bootpath is : /rest/v1/systems/1/bios/boot Added the following patch: { "Boot/BootSourceOverrideTarget": "Utilities" } Committing changes... The operation completed successfully.

BTW, "Utilities" (aka "F10", aka "Intelligent Provisioning") is not the same as "BiosSetup" (aka "F9")

Is the target server the local server or is it remote? If it is the latter, can you try executing the command all in one shot, ie:

# ilorest --nologo bootorder --onetimeboot=biossetup --commit --url {ip-address} -u {username} -p {password}
