Attribute registry XML
The attribute registry lists all the attributes and properties for the particular component in XML format. For attribute registries
of RAID, NIC, iDRAC, BIOS, FC HBA, and PCIeSSD, see en.community.dell.com/dell-groups/dtcmedia/m/mediagallery/
20440476.
Event message registry XML
The message registry XML describes all messages, message IDs, and message arguments from all profiles.
This zipped file contains the iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller event and error message data in XML, conforming to the DMTF
DSP0228 message registry XML schema. The zipped file also includes an XSL file provided by Dell that enables content
searching and reading easier.
To view the Dell Event Message Reference Guide document, go to en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-
management/w/wiki/lifecycle-controller#attributereg and click the latest OpenManage Software version. The Event Message
Reference document contains the error and event information generated by firmware and other agents that monitor system
components. These events are logged and displayed to the user on one of the system management consoles, or both logged and
displayed.
XML schemas
The Lifecycle Controller XML Schema Guide provides interpretation of XML used by the Lifecycle Controller to describe various
Lifecycle Controller output XML content such as:
● Logs
● Configuration results
● Hardware Inventory
● Attributes
● Server Configuration Profiles

Redfish
Redfish is a web-based API which implies that resources are accessed using client supplied URLs. URLs are required to identify
Redfish resources. The Redfish API uses a simple URL hierarchy which follows a /redfish/v1/ pattern for all resources. To
access a Redfish resource, use the URL pattern https://<iDRAC IP>/redfish/v1/<Resource Path>.
The Redfish API Reference Guide provides an overview of the Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API standard and
describes the Dell implementation of Redfish for Dell’s 12th and 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, delivered by the
integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller.
