Hi Tex

Many thanks for this repository. It's full of very useful information that has helped me with automating my work. I am primarily using the Powershell scripts.

As part of a script I am developing I wondered if it is possible to identify an IDRAC card as version 8 or 9 using Redfish? I can get the iDRAC version number and could convert it but is there was a more straight forward way?

Your recommendations would be very helpful.

Hi @Iznik285

Best way to tell if the server is using iDRAC 7/8 or 9 is to check the server model. GET on URI "redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1?$select=Model", if 14G or 15G, iDRAC 9. If 12G or 13G, iDRAC 7/8.

Thanks Tex
