bios-driver¶

Driver that drp-bioscfg should use for working with BIOS settings

This parameter lets the bioscfg command know what tooling it should use to get and set BIOS configuration values on a machine. The current options are :

• dell which will use racadm to get and set BIOS settings via racadm get.
• hp which will use conrep to get and set BIOS settings.
• lenovo which will use onecli to get and set BIOS via onecli config.
• supermicro whicl will use sum to get and set BIOS settings.
• cisco which will use the CIMC XML API out-of-band.
• redfish which will use the ipmi plugin's getBios and setBios actions to get and set Redfish BIOS attributes through the BMC. This requires the ipmi plugin, the ipmi/address, ipmi/username, and ipmi/password params, and ipmi/mode set to redfish. Attribute names are the Redfish names; a BIOS.Setup.1-1/ prefix is removed. Changes are staged in the BMC pending settings and applied on the next reboot, or as set by ipmi/bios-apply-time.
• none which does nothing.

Support for other BIOS configuration tooling is welcome.
