How to set DL BIOS settings from Win2003

[Nerijus Sarnas]

Hello,

Maybe some one knows how to set some settings to DL380 server BIOS?

I have about 140 DL380 servers, and I need to change “Automatic Power-On” setting from “Disable” (this is by default) to “Enable” in BIOS.

Conrep.exe utility does not have such possibility (there is no such object in conrep.xml file).

Maybe are some other tools to do this?

If you are running Linux there is the 'hpasmcli' command line utility that could probably do it...that doesn't exist for Windows yet.

If your systems have iLO in them (DL380G2 and later) then this setting exists in the iLO interface and should be able to be set there as well..

Hello,

I have no Linux in this network.

You are talking about this iLO setting: iLO -> Virtual Devices -> Power Configuration Settings -> Automatically Power On Server?
It is set to Yes.
But in BIOS â Automatic Power-Onâ is Disabled.
