gives:

but then, the command does changes the values for PxeDev2EnDis, PxeDev3EnDis and PxeDev4EnDis, but not the other remaining values, and gives then an error:

Hi @OmarReygaert

Attribute values are case sensitive so you must pass in the exact string value as stated in the attribute registry. Change "disabled" to "Disabled" and you script should now pass.

Example of failure and passing:

C:\Python39>GetSetBiosAttributesREDFISH.py -ip 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin -an PxeDev3EnDis -av enabled -r n

- INFO, script will be setting BIOS attribute(s) -

Attribute Name: PxeDev3EnDis, setting new value to: enabled

- FAIL, PATCH command failed to set BIOS attribute pending values and create next reboot config job, status code is 400

- POST command failure is:
 {'error': {'@Message.ExtendedInfo': [{'Message': 'Unable to set the object properties because an incorrect object value is entered.', 'MessageArgs': ['PxeDev3EnDis'], 'MessageArgs@odata.count': 1, 'MessageId': 'IDRAC.2.4.SYS409', 'RelatedProperties': ['#/Attributes/PxeDev3EnDis'], 'RelatedProperties@odata.count': 1, 'Resolution': 'Enter a valid object value and retry the operation. For information about recommended values, see the schema or the attribute registry based on the type of resource.', 'Severity': 'Warning'}], 'code': 'Base.1.7.GeneralError', 'message': 'A general error has occurred. See ExtendedInfo for more information'}}

C:\Python39>GetSetBiosAttributesREDFISH.py -ip 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin -an PxeDev3EnDis -av Enabled -r n

- INFO, script will be setting BIOS attribute(s) -

Attribute Name: PxeDev3EnDis, setting new value to: Enabled

- PASS: PATCH command passed to set BIOS attribute pending values and create next reboot config job, status code 202 returned

- PASS, JID_351767680522 next reboot config JID successfully created

Hi @texroemer ,

Thanks for clarification, I was using indeed lowercase values. It seems that this is not a problem for other scripts, like: SetIdracLcSystemAttributesREDFISH.py I'm using also lowercase values and that script pass without error's.

Will use the correct values. Good to know that it is case-sensitive

Hi @OmarReygaert

FYI, this is not a script issue but a limitation on how the attributes are handled in the background. BIOS has a different attribute registry compared to iDRAC and BIOS enforces case where iDRAC will allow none case values.

Thanks Tex
