Check the OMSA command omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=bootorder sequence=<list>
The sequence of boot devices will be enabled in the bios and the devices that are not part of the sequence will be disabled. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexander Dupuy Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 3:52 AM To: linux-poweredge-Lists Subject: disabling boot devices on poweredge servers? The syscfg utility provides a mechanism to change the default boot order, but I would like (for security reasons) to disable boot from USB or CD-ROM (I can turn off PXE boot from the NICs). I don't want to use a BIOS system password (as these are servers and need to be able to reboot unattended) but will enable a BIOS setup password to lock in the changes once they are set. I can see how to disable boot devices in the F2 setup screen, but would like a way to do this programmatically, without running Expect on a DRAC/BMC serial console session. Any suggestions? Is this possible using OMSA? @alex -- mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
