How to perform BIOS Token change using OpenUSM

Pre-requisite:

  • NFS Server
  • Latest version of Docker Installed (17.06+)
  • Python 2.7+ with pip installed
$apt install python-pip
$pip install requests

Clone the OpenUSM Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/openusm/openusm
$ cd openusm

Copy biosconfig.xml file to NFS Share

$cp -rf samples/biosconfig.xml /var/nfsshare/

A Quick Look at Script Options

$ python bios-token.py --help
usage: bios-token.py [-h] [--verbose] [-i IDRAC] [-n NFS] [-s SHARE]
                     [-c CONFIG] [-f IPS]

Welcome to Universal Systems Manager Bios Token Change

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --verbose             Turn on verbose logging
  -i IDRAC, --idrac IDRAC
                        iDRAC IP of the Host
  -n NFS, --nfs NFS     NFS server IP address
  -s SHARE, --share SHARE
                        NFS Share folder
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        XML File to be imported
  -f IPS, --ips IPS     IP files to be updated

Updating BIOS Token Change for Single System

$python bios-token.py -i <iDRAC-IP> -s /var/nfsshare -c biosconfig.xml -n <NFS-IP>

Updating BIOS Token Change for Multiple System

$bios-token.py -f ips.txt -s /var/nfsshare -c biosconfig.xml -n <NFS-IP>

where,

ips.txt is a file which includes list of iDRAC IP address. Check out the same file format under ips.txt

What does this script do?

This script will create as many Docker containers based on number of systems. It means that for every iDRAC IP address, a Docker container will be spun up which does BIOS token change automatically. PLEASE NOTE THAT NO MANUAL REBOOT IS REQUIRED as LC automaticaly handle the job and rebooting the system.

Troubleshooting

  1. The bios-token.py runs well but the container gets exited suddenly

As of now, the IP address has been hard coded into bios-token.py specific to syslog server. Hence, you might need to make changes manually. The fix will be provided ASAP.
