To apply the NIC settings, follow any one of the following substeps:
- To apply NIC settings on all DL or EL servers, run the following command:
nps deploy -s hw_prep -l debug -sl all -a nic
To apply NIC settings on a single DL or EL server or list of DL or EL servers, run the following command:
nps deploy -s hw_prep -l debug -sl <Server iLO IP (or) Server iLO IP1, server iLO IP2,…> -a nic
-
To verify the status of the hardware preparation service, run the following command:
nps show --service hw_prep
Wait until the status is displayed as

orSUCCESS
for all the hardware configuration operations. If the status is displayed asFAILED
for any of the operations, analyze the<topology_name>_<server_IP>_redfish_nic_<date>.log
file in the/var/nps/logs/<topology_name>
directory. Correct the errors and run the NIC configuration again.To validate the server NIC based settings and boot order, see NIC settings validation.
