ChangeDmiInfo

Updates DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information on the managed system using a DMI configuration file.

Prerequisites

  1. Get current DMI information (see GetDmiInfo) or edit it with EditDmiInfo.
  2. Edit the item/variable values in the DMI.txt file to the desired values.

Syntax

OOB

saa -i <IP or host name> -u <username> -p <password> -c ChangeDmiInfo {--file <DMI.txt>} [--reboot [--post_complete]]

In-Band

saa -c ChangeDmiInfo {--file <DMI.txt>} [--reboot]

Remote In-Band

saa -I Remote_INB --oi <OS IP address> --ou <OS username> --op <OS password> -c ChangeDmiInfo {--file <DMI.txt>} [--reboot] [--remote_saa <remote SAA path>]

Multiple Systems OOB

saa -l <system list file> [-u <username> -p <password>] -c ChangeDmiInfo {--file <DMI.txt>} [--reboot [--post_complete]] [--individually]

Options

  • --file <file name>: Required. Updates the DMI information with the given text file
  • --reboot: Forces the managed system to reboot or power up after operation
  • --individually: Individually updates each piece of DMI information with its corresponding text file
  • --post_complete: Waits for the managed system's POST to complete after reboot

Examples

OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c ChangeDmiInfo --file DMI.txt --reboot

In-Band

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -c ChangeDmiInfo --file DMI.txt --reboot

Remote In-Band

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -I Remote_INB --oi 192.168.34.56 --ou root --op 111111 -c ChangeDmiInfo --file DMI.txt --reboot

Multiple Systems OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -l SList.txt -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c ChangeDmiInfo --file DMI.txt --reboot
[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -l SList.txt -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c ChangeDmiInfo --file DMI.txt --reboot --individually

Multiple Systems Remote In-Band

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -I Remote_INB -l SList.txt -c ChangeDmiInfo --file DMI.txt --reboot

Notes

  • The supported editable DMI items may change for different BIOS versions. The version variable of the DMI.txt file must be the same as that of the managed system and should not be edited.
  • The uploaded information only takes effect after a system reboot or power up.
  • To update multiple systems individually, provide DMI.txt.<IP> per system (e.g. DMI.txt.192.168.34.56 and DMI.txt.192.168.34.57), set --file to DMI.txt, and use --individually; SAA searches for the per-system files to update each respective system.
