Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
IP address of the target out-of-band controller. For example- <ipaddress>:<port>. |
|
The Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file that contains a CA certificate to be used for the validation. |
|
These actions may require a system reset, depending on the capabilities of the controller.
Choices:
|
|
Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) of the storage controller. For example-‘RAID.Slot.1-1’. This option is mandatory when command is |
|
Provides the option if the module has to wait for the job to be completed. Choices:
|
|
The maximum wait time of job completion in seconds before the job tracking is stopped. This option is applicable when job_wait is Default: |
|
A new security key passphrase that the encryption-capable controller uses to create the encryption key. The controller uses the encryption key to lock or unlock access to the Self-Encrypting Drive (SED). Only one encryption key can be created for each controller. This is mandatory when command is The length of the key can be a maximum of 32 characters in length, where the expanded form of the special character is counted as a single character. The key must contain at least one character from each of the character classes: uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character. |
|
This is a user supplied text label associated with the passphrase. This is mandatory when command is The length of key_id can be a maximum of 32 characters in length and should not have any spaces. |
|
Encryption mode of the encryption capable controller. This option is applicable only when command is
Choices:
|
|
Security key passphrase used by the encryption-capable controller. This option is mandatory when command is |
|
Password of the target out-of-band controller. |
|
Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) of the target physical drive. This is mandatory when command is If volume_id is not specified or empty, this physical drive will be assigned as a global hot spare when command is Notes: Global or Dedicated hot spare can be assigned only once for a physical disk, Re-assign cannot be done when command is |
|
The socket level timeout in seconds. Default: |
|
Username of the target out-of-band controller. |
|
If Configure Prior to collection version Choices:
|
|
Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) of the volume. Applicable if command is volume_id or target is required when the command is To know the number of volumes to which a hot spare can be assigned, refer iDRAC Redfish API documentation. |
