Release Notes

7 Automating Dell EMC PowerEdge Server Management by using iDRAC REST API with DMTF Redfish and Microsoft PowerShell
1 iDRAC REST API with Redfish
To support the DMTF Redfish standard, the iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller supports a RESTful API in addition
to support for the IPMI, SNMP, and WS-Man standard APIs. The iDRAC REST API builds on the Redfish
standard to provide a RESTful interface for the Dell EMC value-add operations including:
 Information about all the iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller out-of-band services—web server, SNMP,
virtual media, SSH, Telnet, IPMI, and KVM.
 Expanded storage subsystem reporting that covers controllers, enclosures, and drives.
 For the PowerEdge FX2 modular, detailed chassis information that covers power supply units (PSUs),
temperature, and fans.
 With the iDRAC Service Module (iSM) installed under the server OS, the API provides detailed
inventory and status reporting for host network interfaces information such as IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway for the Host OS.
