Dell Lifecycle Controller Remote Services v2.30.30.30 Quick Start Guide

Web Services-Management (WS-MAN) is a Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) open standard, defining a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) — based protocol for managing servers, devices, applications, and various web services. WS-MAN provides a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across the IT infrastructure.

DMTF is an industry organization that develops, maintains, and promotes standards for systems management in enterprise IT environments. The DMTF data model is complex and typically requires multiple transactions to accomplish simple operations such as specifying a user name and password, or giving administrator privileges to a user account. To reduce the number of transactions, Lifecycle Controller also offers a Dell data model for management that is based on an attribute model.
