Automatic Bios Parameter Backup - Cisco C880 M5 Configuration Manual

Sub profile
BiosConfig
AdapterIrmcConfig
Comprises the parameters of the virtualization configuration (according to Virtual
IO Management).
HWConfigurationIrmc
Comprises the parameters of the out-of-band RAID configuration.
When you use the eLCM Service Platform support the following additional sub profiles
are available to allow an unattended deployment process:
HWConfiguration
Comprises the parameters of the RAID and LAN adapter configuration.
OSInstallation
Comprises the parameters of OS installation and deployment configuration.
The iRMC advertises the currently supported version of the profile to enable
profile administration by the clients. Furthermore, each sub profile has its own
version with major and minor information.
The iRMC accepts all profiles with the same major number and the same or lower
minor number. In these cases backward compatibility is ensured.

Automatic BIOS parameter backup

To create a BiosConfig sub profile in the profile store of the iRMC, a BIOS
parameter backup is necessary. When you request a BIOS parameter backup the
managed node initiates a boot to read the parameters of the current BIOS
configuration.
The Automatic BiosParameter Backup function on the BIOS page automatizes creating the
BiosConfig sub profile.
With Automatic BiosParameter Backup enabled the parameters of the BIOS
configuration will be sent automatically during each boot process. Thus, the function
speeds up the request for BiosConfig sub profile creation but slows down each host
system boot.
The configuration can be changed with the Config Space variable 1CC0
ConfPermanentBiosConfigStorageEnabled.
