About iDRAC RESTful API with Redfish
and Web Service APIs
Web Services-Management (WSMan) is a Distributed
Management Task Force's (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.
The iDRAC RESTful API expands upon the DMTF Redfish standard with Dell EMC-specific operations. It includes RESTful server configuration, modular server feature support, and detailed OS networking inventory and status. The Scalable Platforms Management Forum (SPMF) has published the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF)'s Redfish API. It is an open
industry standard specification and schema which is designed to meet
the needs of IT administrators for simple, modern, and secure management
of scalable platform hardware. Redfish is a NextGen management standard
using a data model representation inside a hypermedia RESTful interface.
The data model is defined in terms of a standard and machine-readable
schema, with the payload of the messages expressed in JSON and the
protocol using OData v4. Redfish is a hypermedia API, and can represent
various implementations using a consistent interface. It has mechanisms
for discovering and managing data center resources, handling events,
and managing long-lived tasks.
