For convenience, the Linux Scripting ToolkitServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, Linux Edition includes the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU). You can use the ASU to modify firmware settings from the command line on multiple operating system platforms.
The Linux Scripting Toolkit uses a subset of the ASU functions to capture and deploy firmware settings as part of your scripted deployments.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| asu show all | Displays and captures BIOS settings. You can
use redirection to store this output in a file as shown here: |
| asu save filename | Applies CMOS settings from a file. ASU looks for the file name specified
by filename and reads the contents. If the contents
are valid CMOS settings, they are applied, one line at a time, to
the server. The following example applies the settings captured above:Note: Due
to difference in BIOS settings and valid values between models, only
settings captured from an identical model can be replicated.
|
| asu set IMM.HostIPAddress IP address | Sets the external IP address in the Integrated Management Module (IMM) to the specified address. This setting is part of the IMM group. |
| asu set IMM.LandOverUsb enabled|disabled –kcs | Enables or disables the IMM LAN over USB interface. Note: When
you enable or disable this setting, you must use the KCS interface
to ensure that the asu command completes correctly
and returns a status.
