6 Dell Storage Manager REST API Cookbook | 3089-WP-SAN
Executive summary
Dell™ Storage Manager (DSM), formerly known as Enterprise Manager, is a comprehensive, user-friendly,
single-pane-of-glass framework for management and administration of various Dell EMC™ storage platforms
in a unified environment.
There are circumstances within business environments in which tasks may be repetitive, tedious, and error-
prone when attempted with a GUI-based framework. The DSM REST API can provide and improve on
orchestration and delivery of these often-repetitive tasks while minimizing the potential for error.
This paper introduces and discusses code samples and the use of the REST API using Python™. All code
samples within this paper are shared as-is without any explicit statement of warranty or ongoing support.
