Impossible to Reset Power Status with Open Manage Enterprise 3.9 REST API

Question

Hello, I'm trying to manage power status of multiples dell devices from our data center. My device has idrac installed, and when I use the redfish api call it's working perfectly. But to adapt it to all the devices of the company I'm trying to use OpenManage to do it for me. So OpenManage is configured and working well (/api/DeviceService/Devices) show all my devices. With my ID I can use a second call using a redfish link (find in the documentation). So this get call work perfectly and show me information of my devices: {my-ip}/redfish/v1/Systems/Members('{id}')The issues is now, in the target part of the response, it describe me to use this POST call : {my-ip}/redfish/v1/Systems/Members('{id}')/Actions/ComputerSystem.ResetUsing as body this information, and as header 'Content-Type': 'application/json{ 'ResetType': 'On' }And the response is an error 501. Impossible to do anything. I tried to change my body with 'PowerOn' find in the documentation and the issus still stay the same. Do you have an Idea if I'm using the good endpoints or if something is missing ? Thanks a lot

Hello,

We found a solution, the mistake was really stupid.

We call the api with "/redfish/v1/Systems/Members('10413')/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset", with that the answer is an error 501.

It's missing the "https://", so it understanding that as http, so it's failing.

Now everything work, thanks a lot !

Hello alchambron,

Tested this in the lab and it work. Hopefully this works for you.

used this endpoint

/redfish/v1/Systems/Members('10095')/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset

where the '10095' is the DeviceID from the device from /api/DeviceService/Devices

and the Body I used in my POST call was

{"ResetType":"On"}

Hello,

Thanks for answering me.

It's exactly what I did, everything you mentioned work perfectly excepting the last endpoint.

When I call that endpoint : /redfish/v1/Systems/Members('10413')/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset

with "{"ResetType":"On"}" in the body

The response is :

{
    "error": {
        "code": "Base.1.0.GeneralError",
        "message": "A general error has occurred. See ExtendedInfo for more information.",
        "@Message.ExtendedInfo": [
            {
                "MessageId": "CGEN1006",
                "RelatedProperties": [],
                "Message": "Unable to complete the request because the resource URI does not exist or is not implemented.",
                "MessageArgs": [],
                "Severity": "Critical",
                "Resolution": "Enter a valid URI and retry the operation."
            }
        ]
    }
}

Hope that someone will have an idea about that.

Thanks a lot

Hello alchambron,

I looked over the page again. Try

PowerOn

Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise 3.9 RESTful API Guide

Page 640

https://dell.to/3nTgWgC

Reset types

The allowed values are:

● PowerOn

● PowerOffNonGraceful

● PowerOffGraceful

● PowerCycle

What are the devices you are using this against?
