Profile Name Description
supporting PI are also referred to as DIF drives. The data integrity field provides additional data
robustness by providing CRC such as data validation at every level in the RAID stack.
System Info The DCIM System Info Profile describes the properties and interfaces for executing system
management tasks related to the management of the host system.
Video The DCIM Video Profile describes the properties and interfaces for executing system
management tasks related to the management of video controllers within a system.
Virtual Media The DCIM Virtual Media Profile describes the properties for executing system management
tasks related to managing the Virtual Media functionality.
MOF WSDL and XSD API Definitions
A complement to the profile documentation is the Managed Object File (MOF) that documents the class implementation
of the Dell-specific CIM classes. Web Service Description Language (WSDL) and XML Schema Definition (XSD) files
describe the resulting functionality.
Managed Object File
The Common Information Model (CIM) is an open standard that defines how managed elements in an IT environment are
represented as a common set of objects and relationships between them. This is intended to allow consistent
management of these managed elements, independent of their manufacturer or provider.
Files that contain the normative description for classes, properties, and methods are contained within the Managed
Object File (MOF).
NOTE: To access the MOFs, on the Dell TechCenter (delltechcenter.com/LC) page, under Reference Specifications,
click MOFs.
Web Service Description Language (WSDL)
The Web Services Description Language is an XML-based language that is used for describing the functionality offered
by a Web service. A WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file) provides a machine-readable
description of how the service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns.
XML Schema Description
An XML schema (also known as XSD) is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of
constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic syntactical constraints
imposed by XML itself. These constraints are generally expressed using some combination of grammatical rules
governing the order of elements.
NOTE: To access the XSD, use the link en.community.dell.com/dell-groups/dtcmedia/m/mediagallery/20074445.aspx
Web Services Interface Guide
The Web Services Interface Guide (WSIG) serves as a guideline for utilizing the functionality available from embedded
Lifecycle Controller Remote Services Web Services interfaces. It provides information and examples for utilizing the
Web services for WSMAN protocol using Windows WinRM and open source WSMANCLI command line utilities.
