Redfish

Redfish is a web-based API which implies that resources are accessed using client supplied URLs. URLs are required to identify

Redfish resources. The Redfish API uses a simple URL hierarchy which follows a /redfish/v1/ pattern for all resources. To access a

Redfish resource, use the URL pattern https://<iDRAC IP>/redfish/v1/<Resource Path>.

The Redfish API Reference Guide provides an overview of the Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API standard and describes

the Dell implementation of Redfish for Dell’s 12th and 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, delivered by the integrated Dell

Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller.
