Multiple Systems OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -l SList.txt -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c LoadDefaultBiosCfg --optimized_default --reboot

Notes

  • The uploaded configuration only takes effect after a reboot or power up.
  • If you don't use --optimized_default, the managed system is restored to its current default setting, which may be the user-selected default or the performance-optimized default. For platforms that do not support --optimized_default, the current default setting is the performance-optimized setting.
