Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
baseuri
string / required
IP address of the target out-of-band controller. For example- <ipaddress>:<port>.
command
string
    Choices:
  • ResetConfig
  • AssignSpare
  • SetControllerKey
  • RemoveControllerKey
  • ReKey
These actions may require a system reset, depending on the controller's capabilities.
ResetConfig - Deletes all the virtual disks and unassigns all hot spares on physical disks.
AssignSpare - Assigns a physical disk as a dedicated or global hot spare for a virtual disk.
SetControllerKey - Sets the key on controllers, which is used to encrypt the drives in Local key Management(LKM).
RemoveControllerKey - Erases the encryption key on the controller.
ReKey - Resets the key on the controller.
controller_id
string
FQDD of the storage controller. For example- 'RAID.Slot.1-1'.
This option is mandatory when command is ResetConfig, SetControllerKey, RemoveControllerKey and ReKey.
key
string
A new security key passphrase that the encryption-capable controller uses to create the encryption key. The controller uses the encryption key to lock or unlock access to the Self Encryption Disk(SED). Only one encryption key can be created for each controller.
This is mandatory when command is SetControllerKey or ReKey, and when mode is LKM.
key_id
string
This is a user supplied text label associated with the passphrase.
This is mandatory when command is SetControllerKey or ReKey, and when mode is LKM.
mode
string
    Choices:
  • LKM
  • SEKM
Encryption mode of the encryption-capable controller: 1 - Local Key Management (LKM), 2 - Security Enterprise Key Manager(SEKM).
This option is applicable only when command is ReKey.
SEKM requires secure enterprise key manager license on the iDRAC.
old_key
string
Security key passphrase used by the encryption-capable controller..
This option is mandatory when command is ReKey and mode is LKM.
password
string / required
Password of the target out-of-band controller.
target
string
Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) of the target physical drive that is assigned as a spare.
This is mandatory when command is AssignSpare.
If volume_id is not specified or empty, this physical drive will be assigned as a global hot spare.
username
string / required
Username of the target out-of-band controller.
volume_id
list / elements=string
FQDD of the volumes to which a hot spare is assigned.
Applicable if command is AssignSpare.
To know the number of volumes to which a hot spare can be assigned, refer iDRAC Redfish API guide.

Notes
