Supermicro Update Manager ("sum")
different path on PCDS machines vs S3DF
output current bios settings to file: sudo /sdf/group/scs/tools/supermicro/sum_latest_Linux_x86_64/sum -c GetCurrentBiosCfg --file sdfmilan001.biosCfg.xml
edit the .xml file then use ChangeBiosCfg option to update settings (change is queued up to be applied when server is next rebooted)
There Is a "--tui" option with GetCurrentBiosCfg which brings up a simulation of the usual bios configuration utility (F4 to save and exit). Changes are saved to the .xml option.
Any setting that is removed from the .xml is left unchanged, so can have a minimal .xml file with only settings that need to be changed. see /sdf/group/scs/tools/supermicro for example .xml files.
"-i" option going over network (e.g. sdfmilan001-oob, which is the ipmi interface?). Needs -u "username" and -p "password" arguments
On PCDS machines path is /cds/sw/package/supermicro/sum_latest_Linux_x86_64/sum
GetBiosInfo is another command
UpdateBios is another command
