Modify Boot Order with Redfish

Modified on Wed, 15 Jan at 11:36 AM

This guide applies to:
    RPL
    SPR-M
    SPR-X
    3100-RL+
    3100-SM+
    3100-SX+
    3100-TX

To update the boot order via Redfish, you must modify /Systems/Self/SD instead of /Systems/Self

Example with curl:

curl -k -u "admin:admin123" https://192.168.0.108/redfish/v1/Systems/Self/SD -H "If-None-Match: sdsdsd" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Boot": { "BootSourceOverrideTarget":"Pxe", "BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Continuous" } }' -X PATCH

Please note that if using PowerShell, this will require additional escape character like so:

curl.exe -k -u "admin:admin123" https://192.168.0.108/redfish/v1/Systems/Self/SD -H "If-None-Match: sdsdsd" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{\"Boot\": { \"BootSourceOverrideTarget\":\"Pxe\", \"BootSourceOverrideEnabled\": \"Continuous\" } }' -X PATCH

Note that a soft reboot will not apply the Boot Override, the system must be power cycled. You can do this by powering off the device and powering it on again via:

Power off device:

Type

POST

Target

/redfish/v1/Chassis/Self/Actions/Chassis.Reset

Body

{

"ResetType": "GracefulShutdown"

}

Power on device

Type

POST

Target

/redfish/v1/Chassis/Self/Actions/Chassis.Reset

Body

{

"ResetType": "On"

}

Please also reference:

/redfish/v1/Systems/Self/SD for the full list of boot order and boot override variables.
/redfish/v1/Chassis/Self/ResetActionInfo for the system power commands
/redfish/v1/Systems/Self/BootOptions/[BootID] for individual boot options
