Profile Name Service Processor Simple NIC Software Inventory Software Update System Info System QuickSync USB device Video Virtual Media Description The DCIM Service Processor Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks related to the management of the service processor and iDRAC. The Simple NIC Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent the configuration of NIC network controllers. Virtual Address Management is supported by setting attributes of VirtMacAddr, VirtIscsiMacAddr, VirtFIPMacAddr, VirtWWN, VirtWWPN, and VirtualizationMode. The Dell Software Inventory Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent the software inventory of system. The Software Update Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to update platform firmware or software. DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService: installfromRepository and DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService: GetRepoBasedUpdateList allows updates from update repository. Solid-state Drive (SSD) wear-level odometer: Ability to provide lifetime/wear out of SSD drives attached to PERC controller. DIF drive reporting: PowerEdge RAID Controller 9 (PERC 9) is adding support for PI (Protection Information) drives. These protection fields are known as DIF (Data Integrity Fields) and drives supporting PI are also known as DIF drives. The data integrity field provides additional data robustness by providing CRC such as data validation at every level in the RAID stack. The DCIM System Info Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks related to the management of the host system. The DCIM System QuickSync profile document describes the properties and interfaces used for system management tasks related to the management of QuickSync or NFC devices within a system. The DCIM USB Device profile describes the properties and interfaces for the system management tasks related to the USB devices within a system. The DCIM Video Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks related to the management of video controllers within a system. The DCIM Virtual Media Profile describes the properties for running system management tasks related to managing the Virtual Media functionality. WSMAN MOF WSDL and XSD API definitions A complement to the profile documentation is the Managed Object File (MOF) that documents the class implementation of the Dellspecific CIM classes. Web Service Description Language (WSDL) and XML Schema Definition (XSD) files describe the resulting functionality. Managed object file The Common Information Model (CIM) is an open standard that defines how managed elements in an IT environment are represented as a common set of objects and relationships between them. This is intended to allow consistent management of these managed elements, independent of their manufacturer or provider. Files that contain the normative description for classes, properties, and methods are contained within the Managed Object File (MOF). NOTE: To access the MOFs, on the Dell TechCenter (www.delltechcenter.com/lc) page, under Reference Specifications, click MOFs. Web service description language The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. A WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file) provides a machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns. 24 Getting started with API collateral and links
