6 Firmware Inventory

6.1 Software Inventory Profile Specification

The Dell Common Information Model (CIM) class extensions for supporting remote firmware inventory are

defined in the Dell OS Software Update

and related MOFs

. The diagrams representing the classes that

are implemented by the Lifecycle Controller firmware can be found in Dell Software Inventory Profile.

6.2 Remote Inventory Method Invocation — Get Software Inventory

The SoftwareIdentity class contains information for the BIOS and component firmware installed on the

target System as well as available firmware images cached in the Lifecycle Controller. The enumeration of

the SoftwareIdentity class returns a list of SoftwareIdentity objects with properties such as firmware type

and version.

Profile and Associated MOFs:

EXAMPLE:

wsman enumerate http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/2/root/dcim/DCI

M_SoftwareIdentity

-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443

-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD

-j utf-8 -y basic

When this method is run, a list of software identity objects will be returned, including installed and

available firmware. Below is a snippet of the output.
