Workload profiles are collections of BIOS settings. When workload profiles are combined with SCP Imports, the workload profile is applied first, and then the remaining attributes in the template are applied.
{ "FQDD": "BIOS.Setup.1‐1",
"Attributes": [
{ "Name": "WorkloadProfile",
"Value": “NotConfigured ",
"Set On Import": "True",
"Comment": "Read and Write" },
Note: If you only change the WorkloadProfile attribute, and no child attributes are tied to this profile that you set, the WorkloadProfile attribute will report the profile for the current value (for example: HpcProfile). If you change WorkloadProfile and also change child attributes tied to this profile in the same SCP file, then WorkloadProfile will report the default value, NotConfigured (for example: Set WorkloadProfile to HpcProfile and ProcVirtualization to Enabled in same SCP file).
Note: If your server is using an older BIOS with the default value of NotAvailable, the WorkloadProfile attribute will always report a current value of NotAvailable regardless of what was recently applied. This attribute is not persistent and only serves to trigger a workload profile swap.
Note: Depending on the server’s installed processor, certain possible values might not be available for this attribute.
