OMIVV API Usage Help for a Non-Dev

Hello,

 

I'm not familiar with OMIVV APIs and scripts, but I would like to try help out. What are you trying to achieve in your scripts? Let us know your thoughts, and I probably try to find out from some of the offline folks on OMIVV. Oh and what PDF are you referring on? 

Hello VMAdmins,

 

Thank you for the update and the link.  We'll see if Joey has any suggestion.

 

I am not too familiar with scripting myself but I know you would be updating firmware through the DRAC. 

 

These links may be helpful to you for that:

Thank you for your response and willingness to help! My goal is to automate the firmware update process for my VMware hosts. I prefer a Powershell based process but I'm willing to learn other methods.

This is the PDF I was referring to: https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/openmanage-integration-vmware-vcenter-v52_api-guide_en-us.pdf

Hi,

     Below are two references to begin with writing scripts using OMIVV API.

 

1. Dell API Market place. https://api-marketplace.dell.com/#/overview-doc/2628/6248

This has details about sequence of APIs to be used to automate firmware update process, code example, request & response body details.

    2. Sample codes at GitHub. https://github.com/dell/omivv

Few python sample codes to achieve certain task using OMIV APIs are posted at GitHub.

 

APIs are introduced with OMIVV 5.2 and so make sure OMIVV version is 5.2.

Since these are RESTAPIs, you can use PowerShell to consume it.

Please let us know if you are looking for any more details.
