Hello,

I need to change BIOS settings localy from server OS (linux).
Server ProLiant DL365 Gen10 Plus.
ilorest should do this, but I am havving issues. ilorest is not making any of changes I need.

ilorest  load -f ilorest1.json -v

ilorest1.json file content is:

  {
    "#Bios.v1_0_4.Bios": {
      "/redfish/v1/systems/1/bios/settings/": {
        "Attributes": {
          "ApplicationPowerBoost": "Disabled",
          "CStateEfficiencyMode": "Disabled",
          "DataFabricCStateEnable": "Disabled",
          "HttpSupport": "Disabled",
          "InfinityFabricPstate": "P0",

          "WorkloadProfile": "Custom"
        }
      }
    }
  }
]

I have tried removing various settings form ilorest1.json, but still getiing same error -> The property you are trying to change has been updated. Please check entry again before manipulating it.
ILOREST return code: 61

But if i do curl post - everything works fine. But as I need to apply changes localy via OS, curl is not an option for me.
Can anyone please advise what is I am missing?

Thanks!

It was some kind of BIOS/firmware issues probably. After server full power reset and restoring BIOS settings to factory defaults I was able to apply neccessary changes with ilorest successfully.
