121 Lifecycle Controller Integration Best Practices Guide
A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before running any other WSMAN commands.
The GetRSStatus() method or the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() method may be used depending on the version of the
LC Management registered profile.
B) GetNICCapabilities(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICCapabilities class to view all instances of the class. See
section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE . If instances are returned, go to end of script as the capabilities are
published
C) GetNICViews(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICView class to view all available NIC instances. See section 2.2 for
a definition of ENUMERATE . If no instances are returned, go to end of script as no NICs are present.
D) GetSystemViews(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_SystemView class. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE. If the “PowerState” field is equal to 8, power on system.
E) RequestPowerStateChange(): Power on the system using PowerState=2
F) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before running any other WSMAN commands.
The GetRSStatus() method or the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() method may be used depending on the version of the
LC Management registered profile.
 When the system is ready, continue
G) GetNICCapabilities(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICCapabilities class to view all instances of the class. See
section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE . If instances are returned, go to end of script as the capabilities are
published
H) RequestPowerStateChange(): Power off the system using PowerState=8
Note: If an operating system has been installed, the system will boot into it. It may be desired to wait until the OS boot
is complete before performing a graceful shutdown.
