How to Configure a Static CMOS Setting
biosconfig cannot retrieve the strings and the mapping between the values in CMOS. This behavior is BIOS dependent; the ability to retrieve this information depends on the BIOS revision and the platform type.
To configure or export dynamic settings, you need to discover the setting that you wish to use by following these steps:
biosconfig -get_bios_settings filename.xml
This is an example of a dynamic CMOS setting as displayed in the XML file:
<BIOSCONFIG> <SETUP_CONFIG> <Boot> <Option_ROM_Enable> <NET0_Option_ROM_> <HELP_STRING>This Option enables execut.... </HELP_STRING> <DEFAULT_OPTION> 0000 </DEFAULT_OPTION> <SELECTED_OPTION> 0000 </SELECTED_OPTION> <OPTION_RANGE> 0000 - 0001 </OPTION_RANGE> <OPTION-0>Not Available</OPTION-0> </NET0_Option_ROM_> </Option_ROM_Enable> </Boot> </SETUP_CONFIG> </BIOSCONFIG>
In the preceding code, there are no string-to-value mappings offered by the biosconfig output.
biosconfig -set_bios_settings filename.xml
