Getting Started with API Collateral and Links

Getting started with any feature of Lifecycle Controller begins at the Dell Tech Center Lifecycle Controller home page —

delltechcenter.com/LC.

The home page contains various sections that reference URLs, and these referenced URLs are direct links to the

corresponding sections.

You can follow these steps to get started using the Lifecycle Controller API:

1. Identify the feature or the required management operation.

2. Determine how the API is constructed for the desired management activity.

3. Utilize a client to access the API.

4. Use the best practices work flows for the client to interact with the API to accomplish the activity.

Profiles

Profiles describe the behavior of each feature and necessary classes, properties, methods, and configurable

management attributes that represent the feature. They explain “what” is supported by Lifecycle Controller-Remote

Services provided within the context of the CIM architecture. Profile specifications are organized around different

management areas or domains.
