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 crash-cart 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 ipmi interface (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 (takes a --file option too, I believe)
