Sun IPMI System Management Driver 2.1
biosconfig for Windows is a BIOS configuration tool that runs on the host’s OS and configures that host’s BIOS CMOS settings and host boot order. This tool is supported on several operating systems on various platforms.
With biosconfig version 2.2.1 for Windows, biosconfig.exe is run only in its installation directory so it can access its low-level management driver.
The Oracle System Management driver is required in order to run biosconfig on Windows Server 2008 SP2 64–bit or Windows Server 2008 R2 systems. This driver is not required for Windows 2008 32–bit.
Note - On some systems, when using the Oracle System Management Driver, biosconfig might take several minutes to complete some operations.
