Exporting and changing a UEFI configuration /Fujitsu

– from eLux RP 6 2204 –

The UEFI configuration can be exported as an .xml file for some devices. In the .xml file, you may change as many settings as you like before importing the file to the target devices. This has been successfully tested for the following devices:

Fujitsu Futro S540, S740, S940, S7010, S9010

Requires
The eLux software package BIOS Tools and included feature packages BIOS Update and Deskflash must be installed on the devices.

To use the Diagnostics feature, the object right Edit diagnostic templates is required (disabled by default)

  1. To export the UEFI configuration of a device, use a user-defined command. We recommend that you execute the command using the Diagnostics feature. With it, you will transfer the .xml file in the same step.

  2. Create a diagnostic template for which you specify the target file in the file list section.
  3. In the Additional script section, create the actual command:

    /opt/deskview/bin/biosset -G -AR=/<path>/<targetfile.xml>

    Make sure to specify the .xml file extension for the target file. A password is not required.

    Example:

    Dia

    Note:

    As an alternative to the Diagnostics feature, you can execute the user-defined command directly on a device and get the target file by other means.

  4. Change the desired settings in the .xml file using a text editor.

    For each entry, both the value (SettingValue) and descriptive text (SettingValueText) must be changed. For information on the settings and their possible values, see the Fujitsu User Manual of the DeskView Client, under Expert mode. Bios

    Save the .xml file.

  5. Place the .xml file on your web server below UC_BIOS in the relevant device type specific directory. For further information, see Providing new BIOS firmware.
  6. To import the updated UEFI configuration, open the context menu of the target devices, for example, of a Dynamic Client Group, and choose Commands >User-defined command. Enter the following command:

    `biosconfig.sh https://<server>/<path>/<sourcefile.xml> [UEFI password]`

    The password is required if the UEFI is password-protected.

    Example without password: biosconfig.sh https://https://websrv.sampletec-01.com/eluxng/UC_BIOS/D3544-B1/BIOS_settings/uefi_config.xml

    Important:

    The .xml file must have the filename.xml format.

  7. Check in the Command info or Command history whether the command has been executed successfully.
