Lifecycle Controller Remote Services - client tools
Use the OpenWSMAN CLI client tool to send WS-MAN commands to Lifecycle Controller.
OpenWSMAN CLI
OpenWSMAN CLI is an open source Linux WS-MAN client. OpenWSMAN CLI source code and installation details are available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwsman/files/wsmancli
.
Sample OpenWSMAN CLI Command (Enumeration Operation):
wsman enumerate http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/DCIM_SystemView -h (idrac ip address) -P 443 -
u (idrac user) -p (idrac password) -v -j utf-8 -y basic -R -o -m 256 -N root/dcim -c cert_name.cer -V
NOTE: Lifecycle Controller uses a self-signed certificate for HTTPS (SSL) communication. Self-signed certificates are not
accepted by the OpenWSMAN CLI client and WS-MAN commands do not work without these options: -c, -v, and -V. See the
OpenWSMAN CLI readme for details on these options.
