To access the Best Practices Guide, from the Dell TechCenter ( delltechcenter.com/LC) page, under the Web Services Integration Tools , click Best Practices Guide. Alternatively, go to http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20066173.aspx

Sample scripts corresponding to all sections in the document are also provided, using WinRM on Windows and wsmancli on Linux.

The Best Practice Guide contains the detailed instructions of common work flows to perform various tasks utilizing WinRM or WSMAN. The PYTHON scripting language is used to provide a software development kit (SDK) for the Lifecycle Controller API methods. The following primary objectives are addressed through the SDK:

• Work flows documented in the Best Practices Guide provide guidance to established, known, and working API methodologies.
• The corresponding PYTHON sample scripts are separately provided. After invoking these scripts, the output log can be used to provide approximate timing on a particular system configuration, as well as raw WinRM or Open-WSMAN input and output.
