I know it's early days for the VRTX, but I'm trying to automate the setup of the chassis via PowerShell and WSMAN and I'm struggling to find any information regarding the Resource URI's for the system.
Could anyone point me in the direction of any documentation that might list the URI which would enable me to manage the settings for the iDracs on the blades, creating virtual disks and mapping them to blades?
Either that or some example commands would be even better!
Just a follow-up as I'm sorted now. Most of the Resource URI can be found here: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1906.dcim-library-profile.aspx Most useful one while starting is the "DCIM Chassis System Info Profile 1.0" PDF. This URI will give you base chassis information such as powerstate, DNS settings, Inventory info etc: http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/DCIM_ModularChassisView This URI will give you blade information such as Slot #, Host Name, iDRAC IP details etc: http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/DCIM_BladeServerView Sling this into PowerShell so you can view the information as an object and you're good to go! $ChassisInfo=Get-CimInstance -CimSession $session -ResourceUri "http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/DCIM_ModularChassisView" -namespace root/dell/cmc
Using racadm is a fall back option for me yes, but I'd really like to be able to do this via PowerShell natively rather than calling out to an executable.
