Description

functionality. You can also use Power Shell and Python to script to the WS-MAN
interface.
Web Services for Management (WS-Management) are a Simple Object Access
Protocol (SOAP)–based protocol used for systems management. iDRAC uses WS–
Management to convey Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common
Information Model (CIM)–based management information. The CIM information
defines the semantics and information types that can be modified in a managed
system. The data available through WS-Management is provided by iDRAC
instrumentation interface mapped to the DMTF profiles and extension profiles.
