Adding SD Card to Boot Policy using PowerTool

kevin.schott — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 21:28:35 GMT

Hi everyone. I am trying to create a boot policy using PowerTool Suite (version 2.3.1.5) and am having difficulty finding the commandlet/option to add just the SD Card. I am able to add the policy fine, but I cannot find where to add the SD Card for boot order "1".

I've been following the script here (UCS Base Configuration Builder PowerShell Script), but in this script it adds all of local disk and not just the SD Card. Here's the block of code that I have been trying to get to work and to just add the SD Card.

$mo = Get-UcsOrg -Level root | Add-UcsBootPolicy -EnforceVnicName "yes" -Name "SD-BOOT" -PolicyOwner "local" -RebootOnUpdate "no"

$mo_2 = $mo | Add-UcsLsbootVirtualMedia -Access "read-only" -Order "2"

$mo_3 = $mo | Add-UcsLsbootStorage -Order 1

$mo_3_1 = $mo_3 | Add-UcsLsbootLocalStorage

$mo_3_1_1 = $mo_3_1 | Add-UcsLsbootDefaultLocalImage -Order 1

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

You can use below cmdlets for adding SD Card in boot policy.

In the below example, I have created a boot policy "testboot1" and added SD Card at order 1 and Virtual Media at order 2.

Start-UcsTransaction

$mo = Get-UcsOrg -Level root | Add-UcsBootPolicy -Name "testboot1"

$mo_1 = $mo | Add-UcsLsbootStorage -Order 1

$mo_1_1 = $mo_1 | Add-UcsLsbootLocalStorage

$mo_1_1_1 = $mo_1_1 | Add-UcsLsbootUsbFlashStorageImage -Order 1

$mo_2 = $mo | Add-UcsLsbootVirtualMedia -Access "read-only-local" -LunId "0" -Order 2

Complete-UcsTransaction

I have used ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet feature of powertool for generating cmdlets from GUI operation logs.

You can also refer the same for any other cmdlets required.
