Retrieving Remote Service Status
To successfully perform remote operations on the server, make sure that the prerequisites provided in the Common
Prerequisites Before Using Remote Services section are met.
Before performing any Remote Services operation (for example, managing NICs, managing RAID configuration,
inventory, and so on), make sure that Remote Services is running, is up-to-date, and can send data. Use the Get Remote
Service Status feature to:
• Get the current status of Remote Services such as Ready, Not Ready, or Reloading.
• Keep polling to determine if Remote Services is Ready.
To retrieve remote services status:
1. Invoke the GetRSStatus() method.
A status is returned along with a Message, MessageID, and ReturnValue.
2. Continue executing the method with an interval until a Ready Status is returned.
Ready status indicates Lifecycle Controller is ready for operations.
