Dell DSS 1510 Lifecycle Controller Remote Services v2.40.40.40 Quick Start Gui - Page 22

3 Getting started with API collateral and links Getting started with any feature of Lifecycle Controller begins at the Dell TechCenter Lifecycle Controller home page - delltechcenter.com/LC. The home page contains various sections that reference URLs, and these referenced URLs are direct links to the corresponding sections. You can follow these steps to get started using the Lifecycle Controller API: 1. Identify the feature or the required management operation. 2. Determine how the API is constructed for the desired management activity. 3. Utilize a client to access the API. 4. Use the best practices work flows for the client to interact with the API to accomplish the activity. WSMAN Profiles Profiles describe the behavior of each feature and necessary classes, properties, methods, and configurable management attributes that represent the feature. The Profile documents explain the features that are supported in the Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services provided within the context of the CIM architecture. Profile specifications are organized around different management areas or domains. Lifecycle Controller-related profiles NOTE: To view the profile documents, on the Dell TechCenter (delltechcenter.com/LC) page, under Reference Specifications, click Profiles. Alternatively, go to en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/ 1906.aspx. Table 2. Profiles Profile Name Description Active Directory The Active Directory Client Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent the configuration of Active Directory client service and the groups managed by the service. Base Metrics The DMTF Common Interface Model (DCIM) Base Metrics Profile extends the DMTF Base Metrics Profile to add Dell-specific implementation requirements for power-related metrics. The profile standardizes the units and description for the metrics, and provides static methodology for the clients to query the metrics without substantial traversal of the model. Base Server and Physical Asset The Base Server Profile is the autonomous profile that defines the classes used to describe basic server hardware and its related software. BIOS and Boot Management The BIOS and Boot Management Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent the configuration of the system BIOS setup and to manage the boot of the system. CPU The DCIM CPU Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks related to the management of processors within a system. Ethernet Port The Ethernet Port Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the ability to represent an Ethernet port, its associated controller, and Ethernet interfaces. 22
