Choices:
|
|
Dictionary of controller attributes and value pair. This feature is only supported for iDRAC9 with firmware version 6.00.00.00 and above controller_id is required for this operation. apply_time and maintenance_window is applicable for attributes. attributes is mutually exclusive with command. Use https://I(idrac_ip/redfish/v1/Schemas/DellOemStorageController.json) to view the attributes. |
|
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 This option is mandatory for attributes. |
|
Provides the option if the module has to wait for the job to be completed. This is applicable for attributes when apply_time is 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. |
|
Option to schedule the maintenance window. This is required when apply_time is |
|
The duration in seconds for the maintenance window. Default: |
|
The start time for the maintenance window to be scheduled. The format is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss<offset> <offset> is the time offset from UTC that the current timezone set in iDRAC in the format: +05:30 for IST. |
|
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. |
|
Capacity of the virtual disk to be expanded in MB. Check mode and Idempotency is not supported for size. Minimum Online Capacity Expansion size must be greater than 100 MB of the current size. When command is |
|
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 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. |
