Interface or Protocol Description

WS-MAN The LC-Remote Services is based on the WS-Management protocol to do one-to-many

systems management tasks. You must use WS-MAN client such as WinRM client (Windows)

or the OpenWSMAN client (Linux) to use the LC-Remote Services functionality. You can also

use Power Shell and Python to script to the WS-MAN interface.

Web Services for Management (WS-Management) is a Simple Object Access Protocol

(SOAP)–based protocol used for systems management. iDRAC7 uses WS–Management to

convey Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM)–based

management information. The CIM information defines the semantics and information types

that can be modified in a managed system. The data available through WS-Management is

provided by iDRAC7 instrumentation interface mapped to the DMTF profiles and extension

profiles.
