Figure 3 – Job Workflow for IDRAC Card Attributes 300
Figure 4 shows the timing diagram for configuration job executions. The upper diagram shows the state 301
transitions of a successful configuration job, while the bottom diagram shows the state transitions of the 302
Remote Services (Data Manager) state as affected by the job execution. 303
For 12G systems, management applications can query for the change (such as enumeration of affected 304
attributes) once the job is completed regardless the Remote Services (Data Manager) state. 305
NOTE: In 11G, the job completion does not indicate that management applications can query for the completed 306
job’s changes but only indicates that all the pending tasks associated with the job have been completed. The Remote 307
Service (Data Manager) needs to reload for the LC interface to reflect new changes. Thus, the Remote Service (Data 308
Manager) status has to transition from “Reloading” to “Ready” to indicate that the LC interface has been updated, and 309
management applications have to check both the job completion as well as the Remote Service (Data Manager) 310
status transition. 311
6.8.1.1 Lifecycle Log 312
Configuration job results are also logged in the Lifecycle Log (LCL). Please refer to the Dell Record Log 313
Profile for in detail description on how to retrieve the LCL and its entries through the WSMAN interface. 314
6.8.1.2 Remote Services Status 315
The Remote Service (Data Manager) status can be queried using DCIM_LCService.GetRSStatus()and 316
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() methods (as described in the Lifecycle Controller (LC) Management 317
Profile). The GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() method is more robust because it details not only the 318
Remote Service (Data Manager) status (as reflected in the LCStatus output parameter) but also the 319
