Notes

  • The --bmc_boot_check option is not compatible with in-band pure Redfish usage on X14/B14 systems, because resetting the BMC configuration disables the Redfish host interface by default on these systems.
  • The --bmc_boot_check option is not supported for in-band Redfish command mode.
  • If the execution "Status" field for a managed system is SUCCESS, the console output of the managed system will be shown in the "Execution Message" section of the log file created for the managed system.
