Abstract:
1. A method for setting a BIOS parameter on a remote computing system: abstracting, based on a normalized BIOS definition, a BIOS parameter setting to create a normalized BIOS parameter setting, wherein the BIOS parameter setting is not compatible with a BIOS of the remote computing system, wherein the normalized BIOS definition provides a grammar to create the normalized BIOS parameter setting based on the BIOS parameter setting; receiving, over a data communications network, the normalized BIOS parameter setting to be applied to the BIOS on the remote computing system; translating the normalized BIOS parameter setting into an actual BIOS parameter setting compatible with the BIOS on the remote computing system, wherein the actual BIOS parameter setting includes a value corresponding to the normalized BIOS parameter setting; storing the actual BIOS parameter setting in the BIOS on the remote computing system; and applying the actual BIOS parameter setting to the operation of the remote computing system by rebooting the remote computing system.
