3 Operating the iDRAC REST API with Redfish by using
PowerShell
The following PowerShell scripts implement key use cases for the iDRAC REST API with Redfish including
server power control, BIOS configuration, firmware update, RESTful server configuration, firmware update, and
log export. The scripts have been tested on a PowerEdge R740 server with iDRAC9 firmware version
3.00.00.00. The scripts used in this white paper are available from the GitHub open source repository
https://github.com/dell/iDRAC-Redfish-Scripting.
Note: It is recommended to run Get-Help on a cmdlet before executing it. This will return helpful information
explaining the functionality of the cmdlet and detailing the required or optional parameters. Run Get-Help
‘cmdlet name’ –examples which will return examples of executing the cmdlet.
Sample screen shots show running the Get-Help on the cmdlet Set-PowerControlRedfish:
