Changing individual UEFI/BIOS settings

For some devices, UEFI/BIOS configuration changes can also be performed remotely from the Scout Console. This has been successfully tested for the following devices:

Fujitsu Futro S740, S940, S7010, S7011, S9010, S9011

Note:

To reference boot entries, check the manufacturer documentation for your devices to see which entries are available.

Setting/deleting the UEFI/BIOS password

1. For the relevant device, OU or Dynamic Client Group, open the context menu and click Commands > User-defined command.

2. Use the following commands: Replace current password with new password: /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -PWD=<Old password> -NEWPWD=<New password>

   Delete password: /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -PWD=<Old password> -NEWPWD=

   Set password, if not set: /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -PWD= -NEWPWD=<New password>

3. Select Run with system rights.
4. Click Execute.

Retrieving current boot order

• Use the following command:

  /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOU –PWD=<password>

For non-UEFI devices, the result is shown in the command info.

Changing boot order

Use the following commands for UEFI devices:

/opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOU=<boot order> -PWD=<password>

Example:

/opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOU=0x01-UEFI:FilePath0,0x0a-LAN0 -PWD=<password> (first entry for HDD)

• Use the following commands for non-UEFI devices:

  Changing boot order:

  /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOOTORDER=1HDD,2LAN -PWD=<password>

Disabling or enabling boot entry

• Use the following command to disable a boot entry:

  /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOUD=<boot option> -PWD=<password>

  Example for UEFI devices:

  /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOUD=UEFI:FilePath0 -PWD=<password>

  Example for non-UEFI devices:

  /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOUD=LAN -PWD=<password>

• Use the following command to enable a boot entry:

  /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOUE=<boot option> -PWD=<password>

  Example for UEFI devices: /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOUE=UEFI:FilePath0 -PWD=<password>

  Example for non-UEFI devices: /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -BOUE=LAN -PWD=<password>

Configuring UEFI/BIOS with manufacturer tool

UEFI/BIOS configuration changes can be made for DELL devices, for example, via the relevant manufacturer tool. To do so, include the call of the tool in the user-defined command. Note that the entire parameter for the call must be set in quotation marks.

• Use a command according to the following example:

  /usr/sbin/biosconfig.sh --tool "/opt/dell/dcc/cctk --ValSetupPwd=<password> -I" <URL>

For the required parameters, refer to the manufacturer documentation, for example, the documentation for the DELL Client Command Suite. Note that the command is executed on the device without any further checks. The responsibility lies with the executing administrator.

Note:

You can predefine a user-defined command as a template: Create a predefined command and specify the password as a variable. The password is requested when the administrator executes the command. For further information, see Creating predefined commands in the Scout guide.
