I am not too sure about openmanage. But you can do some things via ipmi. Here is a code segment I use in a script to set the BIOS to reboot via PXE:

modprobe ipmi_devintf
    modprobe ipmi_si
    ipmitool chassis bootdev pxe



We have a cluster of Poweredge R430 machines we use for research and I can reinstall the operating system on them by wiping the disk and running the above commands. Then it boots into an install that uses a kickstart file.


My understanding is that even under the best of circumstances, ipmi is rather limited and this was part of the motivation for the invention of EUFI.

       How much monkeying around can I do to the bios from the linux
command line in a poweredge using, say, openmanage? Can I set the
bios?
