EditDmiInfo

Updates (or adds) the specified DMI item in a DMI.txt file. When editing from an empty file, a new file is created. This is an alternative to manually editing a DMI.txt file obtained with GetDmiInfo. Specify an item using --item_type/--item_name or with --shn (short name); editable item types, names, and short names can be found in the DMI.txt file.

Syntax

Multiple Systems OOB

saa -l <system list file> [-u <username> -p <password>] -c EditDmiInfo {--file <DMI.txt> --item_type <Item Type> --item_name <Item Name> | --shn <Item Short Name>} {--value <Item Value> | --default}

Options

  • --file <file name>: The DMI information file to be edited (or created if it does not exist)

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.
  • If the execution "Status" field for a managed system (e.g., 192.168.34.56) is SUCCESS, its edited DMI information is updated in its output file, e.g., DMI.txt.192.168.34.56.
