ubiosconfig Command Syntax

The ubiosconfig commands use the following command syntax:

ubiosconfig subcommand type [option]

If you use the --help or --version options, the ubiosconfig command does not require subcommands; otherwise one or more subcommands are mandatory.

When a command fails, it returns one of several failure codes listed in ubiosconfig Error Codes.

ubiosconfig supports the subcommands listed in the following table.

Subcommand	Function
`import`	Import a configuration XML file that will be applied to the server's UEFI BIOS at next boot.
`export`	Export the server's UEFI BIOS configuration to a local XML file.
`cancel`	Cancel pending UEFI BIOS configuration changes.
`list`	List status information regarding pending UEFI BIOS import or export operations.
`reset`	Reset the server's UEFI BIOS configuration to factory default at next boot.

The options listed in the following table apply to all CLI Tools commands including ubiosconfig.

Short Option	Long Option	Description
`-?`, `-h`	`--help`	Displays help information.
`-H`	`--remote_hostname=sp_ip`	The host name, Common Name, or IP address of the remote service processor as specified by sp_ip. This option must be used in combination with the `-U` option. Note: When accessing an SP over a remote Ethernet network connection, client-side SSL certificate validation is performed by default. For proper validation, you must use the Common Name stored in the client-side SSL certificate and the DNS server for the SP remote host name (e.g. `-H ORACLESP-1000NML000`). Otherwise, you will receive a "hostname validation failed" error.
`-U`	`--remote_username=username`	The user name with root access used to log in to the remote service processor as specified by username. This option must be used in combination with the `-H` option.
`-t`	`--intfname=interface`	Specifies the IPMI interface to use. No auto-detect is attempted. Supported interfaces that are compiled in are visible in the usage help output (socket interfaces in case `-H` option is used). See the `-T` description for more information. This option was introduced in Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 57.
`-T`	`--remote-intfname-fallback=interface`	Selects the least secured IPMI socket interface to use if more secure interfaces are not supported. The tool attempts the most secure interface first (orcltls). If the BMC does not support the interface, then attempt the next most secured socket interface until the specified interface. Supported socket interfaces that are compiled in are visible in the usage help output in the appropriate order. If lanplus or lan is specified, certificate checking is disabled when attempting the orcltls interface. Note: If the `-T` or `-t` option is not specified, then no auto-detect is enabled and only the orcltls interface is attempted including certificate checking. This option was introduced in Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 57.
`-V`	`--version`	Displays the tool version.
n/a	`--cert-dir=pathname`	Location of trusted certificates as specified by pathname. Use this option if your client-side SSL certificate is in a different directory than the expected default system certificate directory.
n/a	`--no-cert-check`	Do not perform SSL certificate checking.
