BIOS Configuration Changes not being applied after reboot.

Hello,

I am able to get all the bios settings but when patching the Settings, I get a success but the settings are shown as pending after reboots/power cycle.

Hi @dhruman,

When executing PATCH command for setting BIOS attributes, you must also pass in "@Redfish.SettingsApplyTime" in the body which will generate a job ID URI in the output header response. You can then execute a GET to validate this job ID is marked as schedule, then reboot the server for the job to execute and apply the BIOS changes.

Example of PATCH body:

{'@Redfish.SettingsApplyTime': {'ApplyTime': 'OnReset'}, 'Attributes': {'MemTest': 'Disabled'}}

If needed, you can refer to python script "GetSetBiosAttributesREDFISH.py" which shows this workflow.

Thanks
