4 Using biosconfig to Update the BIOS

biosconfig configures the BIOS CMOS settings, host boot order, and some service processor settings.

Note:

The biosconfig tool is used to configure system BIOS (also called "legacy BIOS") on supported Oracle x86 servers. Servers that support UEFI BIOS must use the ubiosconfig tool. See Using ubiosconfig to Update the UEFI BIOS.

For a list of the tools and the systems that support them, refer to:

biosconfig allows you to manipulate BIOS configurations from the OS command line. The configuration files and command-line interfaces are compatible with the Oracle Solaris and Linux OSes.
