Is there a way to set the boot order through redfish?

I have a R730 with following settings. And I want to change the boot order

```json

```

I tried HTTP PATCH on path `redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/` with 

```json

  {"BootOrder": {
"BootOrder": [

     "HardDisk.List.1-1",
      "NIC.Slot.5-1-1",
      "Optical.SATAEmbedded.J-1",
      "NIC.Slot.5-2-1"
    ]
  }
    }

```

But I failed

Slone123c,

 

It looks like the issue may be with the payload, or maybe since you are using the iDrac8, as I am not certain if that API supports PATCH on that version. 
What I would expect the payload to look like would be 

 

{"Boot":{"BootOrder":["HardDisk.List.1-1","NIC.Slot.5-1-1","Optical.SATAEmbedded.J-1","NIC.Slot.5-2-1"]}}

 

Now if that payload doesn't work, would you please share the error you are seeing, and we can go from there. 

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi there, thank you for your response!

Yes I am using  iDrac8.

Under path `redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/` with HTTP PATCH

and with body content

```json

{"Boot":{"BootOrder":["HardDisk.List.1-1","NIC.Slot.5-1-1","Optical.SATAEmbedded.J-1","NIC.Slot.5-2-1"
]}
}

```

I got the following response:

```json

{
  "error": {
    "@Message.ExtendedInfo": [
      {
        "Message": "Specified Boot Control List is read-only",
        "MessageArgs": [],
        "MessageArgs@odata.count": 0,
        "MessageId": "IDRAC.1.6.BOOT018",
        "RelatedProperties": [
          "BootOrder"
        ],
        "RelatedProperties@odata.count": 1,
        "Resolution": "Refer to the documentation on validity of operation for the Boot Control List specified. For more information on the operation, see Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services documentation.",
        "Severity": "Warning"
      }
    ],
    "code": "Base.1.2.GeneralError",
    "message": "A general error has occurred. See ExtendedInfo for more information"
  }
}

```

So I can see `Boot Control List is read-only`,  that means this should be worked but some settings affects it?
