Concept Guide

Prole Name Description
The DCIM_LCService.ImportSystemCongurationPreview() method is used to preview the results of the
application of the XML template ahead of the actual application without any restart. It also gives the
information about the failure. The successful invocation of this method returns a job.
The methods DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService: SetUpdateSchedule(), DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService:
GetUpdateSchedule(), and DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService: ClearUpdateSchedule() allow for automatic
rmware updates at scheduled intervals.
The DCIM_LCEnumeration class supports an attribute "BIOS Reset To Defaults Requested" to reset BIOS to
its default property.
The methods DCIM_LCService.SetBackupSchedule(), DCIM_LCService.GetBackupSchedule(), and
DCIM_LCService.ClearBackupSchedule() allow for scheduling automated backup of server proles.
The DCIM_LCService.ExportCompleteLCLog() method allows you to export full lifecycle log.
The DCIM_LCService.ImportSystemCongurationPreview method allows for previewing before applying an
XML template.
DCIM_LCService provider adds the following methods: RunePSADiagnostics () and
ExportePSADiagnosticsResult() for the automatic diagnostics.
DHCP-based conguration: Along with getting the IP address from the DHCP server, when the server comes
up, user can set any conguration attribute of iDRAC using an OEM eld
License Management The License Management Prole is an autonomous prole for modeling the Dell Product License Manager
(License Manager). It extends the management capabilities of referencing proles by adding the capability to
represent the devices and Licenses managed by the Dell Product Licensing Manager.
Memory The DCIM Memory Prole describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks
related to the management of memories (DIMMs) within a system.
OS Deployment OS deployment prole describes how to remotely download, setup, and monitor an operating system on a bare
metal machine.
PCI The DCIM PCI Device Prole describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks
related to the management of PCI devices within a system.
Persistent Storage The Persistent Storage Prole extends the management capabilities of referencing proles by adding the
capability to represent and manage the partitions on the Virtual ash media on Dell platforms.
Physical Computer
System View
This prole includes a specication of the physical computer system view, extrinsic methods for management
operations, and its associated relationships.
Power State
Management
The Power State Management Prole describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods used to
manage the power of a system.
Power Supply The DCIM Power Supply Prole describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks
related to the management of power supplies within a system.
Prole Registration The DCIM Prole Registration Prole denes the classes used to describe the DCIM and DMTF prole
registration and the version information of the proles advertised as implemented for a managed system and
components of the system.
RAID
The RAID Prole extends the management capabilities of referencing proles by adding the capability to
represent the conguration of RAID storage.
PERC9 support features provide the following features:
• RAID10–UnevenSpan support: This is a new feature that supports uneven spans (spans with dierent
span length) for RAID 10 virtual disk (VD). This is required to support creation of RAID 10 VD with all
possible number of physical disk drives. With this feature the RAID rmware automatically handles the
creation of spans and therefore span information is hidden from end end users.
• PERC 12 GBPS speed: PERC 9 controllers are of 12 gbps speed and hence can support 12 gbps physical
disk drives.
