If you’re planning to use ianatkin’s suggestion of “MS-DOS as a PXE Automation Option”, you use Emulex Fibre Cards, and you would you like to configure them remotely, this is the program you need, DosLpCfg from Emulex.
DosLpCfg is for use with MS-DOS, FreeDOS, IBM PC DOS and DR DOS operating systems.
You can use the utility to do the following:
Get it here: http://www-dl.emulex.com/support/hardware/utilities/doslpcfg/10a19/doslpcfg_10a19.zip
To get help on using the tool run:
C:\DosLpCfg>doslpcfg help
Here is the help on setting the bootdevice using DosLpCfg:
C:\DosLpCfg>doslpcfg help setbootdevice Command: help setbootdevice Syntax: setbootdevice n=adapter w0=WWPN0 w1=WWPN1 l=LUN t=topology Command completed, NO Error!
Also you can create a list of tasks in a text file and then run them e.g.:
reset n=all enableboot n=1 i=1 setbootdevice n=1 w0=00000000 w1=00000000 l=00 t=1
The command line to run this is:
C:\DosLpCfg>DosLpCfg @textfile.txt
