R840/R640 Redfish Schema
Hello, I have some Dell R840s and R640s coming my way in a few weeks. I need to set hostnames, user, domain name, disable dhcp, disable ipv6, and configure ipv4. I also pull some hardware health and inventories. I've already got all of that down using ssh/racadm. Is it possible to do all of this via Redfish? From what I have been able to find so far, it appears the answer is yes.
I had brief access to an R840 earlier today and was able to use '/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1' to get processor and DIMM info. I didn't have enough time to recreate my python/ssh scripts using redfish.
So my question is, would I be able to set up a virtual environment or are there any online resources to help me complete my redfish scripts before my servers arrive?
I was able to find this https://redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/ but I don't see System.Embedded.1 in there, so I don't know if that is of any use to me.
Firmware of the servers I will be working with:
Lifecycle Controller Version = 4.32.10.00
Bios Version = 2.9.4
iDRAC Version = 4.32.10.00
Best Regards,
Zach
