Hello,
I am trying to change some of the settings in the BIOS of a fleet of T630's with HPDM 4.7 SP 10
The clients are running Thinpro 6.2
The BIOS is verion M40 v01.08
I have attempted the following:
From one of the T630's
- Log in as administrator and open Xterm window.
- Type fsunlock
- Type hptc-bios-cfg -G
- Type ls to see if the file CPQSETUP.TXT was created
- Copy the text file to device manager server.
- Open filename.txt and edit feature as needed. Move * in front of item need to be disable or enable.
- Create a task using HPDM. Click File and Regsitry template. Chose Command as subtask.
- Type fsunlock
- Add another task and chose Deploy Files. Download CPQSETUP.TXT file. Path on device is /tmp/
- Add another Command task. Type hptc-bios-cfg -S /tmp/CPQSETUP.TXT
- Make sure to check "reboot after all task is complete".
This task completes but doesn't change anything.
I have also tried capturing the BIOS from the HPDM directly with a File_and_Registry task using
sudo hptc-bios-cfg -G /tmp/cpqsetup.txt
and then making the desired changes and using it in a deploy file task (similar to step 7 above)
Neither methods make any changes to the settings in the BIOS and I get no error returns from the task - that task finishes without error.
The method did seem to work with the T620's that we have in our fleet (different bios versions lf L40)
Any help would be appriciated.
