Problem with WSMAN for iDRAC 6

Hi,

     There are different profiles available to get RAM, HDD and NIC data in iDRAC6. Refer below link for details on profiles

en.community.dell.com/.../1906.dcim-library-profile.aspx

Check the profiles listed under section "Lifecycle Controller  1.5.1" for iDRAC6

For Getting RAM Information you can use "DCIM Memory Profile 1.0" profile

For Getting HDD Information you can use "DCIM RAID Profile 1.1" profile

For Getting RAM Information you can use "DCIM Memory Profile 1.0" profile

I already used profiles listed under section "Lifecycle Controller  1.5.1" for iDRAC6 like u said but it did not work. I used commands in those profile but it did not show details. Ex: Getting Ram info: I used "DCIM Memory Profile 1.0" profile :

* cmd:

wsman enumerate schemas.dell.com/.../DCIM_MemoryView  -h 10.70.50.216 -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443 -u -p -j utf-8 -y basic

* Result:

xmlns:wsman=" ">schemas.dmtf.org/.../wsman.xsd">

 

    schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../wsa:To>

    schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../wsa:Action>

    uuid:bfb0752c-dc3d-1c3d-8002-8a23c1290c00

    uuid:bfb0752c-dc3d-1c3d-8002-8a23c1290c00

 

 

    ">schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../enumeration">

      5

   

 

It did not show Ram Info. Does not IDRAC6 support some profile (Ram, HDD,NIC) or limit support ? Do i have to do other things? my company is using a lot of DELL M610 Servers.

Please help me this problem

Hi,

You will need a dummy certificate file for the iDRAC wsman commands to work. Create an empty text file in the /usr/bin folder named Dummy as follows:

touch /usr/bin/Dummy

Can you try with this command. It worked for me on R710. It listed all the DIMMs.  

wsman enumerate schemas.dell.com/.../DCIM_MemoryView -u root -p calvin -h 10.94.196.54 -P 443 -c Dummy -y basic -V -v -M epr -m 50

To view HDDs and Network cards you will need to enumerate DCIM_PhysicalDiskView and DCIM_NICView resp.

iDRAC6 supports all the profiles which are listed in the site which Shine has mentioned earlier. Let us know if this worked for you.

Hi,

I already created Dummy file :

[root@test bin]# ls -l /usr/bin/Dummy

-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May  9 21:29 /usr/bin/Dummy

But when try to execute command which you had mentioned, it did not work. This is result:

[root@test wsman_scripts]# wsman enumerate schemas.dmtf.org/.../DCIM_MemoryView -u root -p calvin -h 10.70.50.216 -P 443 -c Dummy -y basic -V -v -M epr -m 50

        The specified feature is not supported

     

     

        schemas.dmtf.org/.../wsman:FaultDetail>

     

   

 

I tried this command on 3 server Dell M610 but getting the same result.

Do you have to do other things?

Thanks so much

Hi,

I see that in your case the reason given is "The Specified feature is not supported". I am not quite sure why this error has been displayed.

It might be that you have an older version of wsman. Can you please check which wsman version are you using?  The command is :wsman --version. It should be atleast 2.0.

You can try updating wsman cli by following the steps mentioned below -

1. Go to  download.opensuse.org/.../Openwsman

cd to the directory for your distribution and download:

libwsman1 .i386.rpm

wsmancli .i386.rpm

2. Install the packages:

rpm –ivh libwsman1 .rpm

rpm –ivh wsmancli .rpm

3. From a command line run:

wsman -?

If the wsman help instructions are displayed, it is installed properly.

Also, can you try running the enumerate command from a windows machine, just to check whether it is client specific issue. winrm 2.0 is native to Win 7 and Win 2008 R2. The cmd is -

winrm e cimv2/root/dcim/DCIM_MemoryView -u:username -p:password -r:https://idracip/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic

Hi,

wsman and winrm version on my client are bellow:

[root@test ~]# wsman --version

wsmancli 2.2.3 (201008230319)

C:\Users\test>winrm id

IdentifyResponse

   ProtocolVersion = schemas.dmtf.org/.../wsman.xsd

   ProductVendor = Microsoft Corporation

   ProductVersion = OS: 6.1.7601 SP: 1.0 Stack: 2.0

When i tried to run winrm command on your post it did not show any information. But OK on iDRAC 7 when i test.

Do you have any good ideas in this problem? I found many ways but unusefull. :((

Thanks so much !!

Hi,

I already resolved this problem:

+ updating to latest LifeCycle Controller 1.6.0.73, current version on my server is: 1.5.5.27.

+ Creating an empty text file in the /usr/bin folder named Dummy or other name

Then wsman could get detail info

Thanks all for help me :)
