2 years ago @ashokbeh, I am guessing following is the workflow that you are looking to automate using ansible:
- Find out whether there are any Remote Diagnostics jobs are running.
- If yes, then monitor the existing job till completion or failure
- If not, then create a new remote diagnostics job and monitor the job till completion or failure.
An ansible-role
idrac_diagnosticswould be the best for realizing the above workflow. In the meanwhile, following is a sample playbook:
tasks:
- name: Get the job queue
ansible.builtin.uri:
url: "https://{{ inventory_hostname }}/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/Jobs?$expand=*"
user: "root"
password: "Dell_123"
validate_certs: False
force_basic_auth: yes
method: GET
headers:
Accept: "application/json"
OData-Version: "4.0"
status_code: 200
register: job_queue_response
- name: check if a diagnostics job is still running
ansible.builtin.set_fact:
diag_jobs: "{{ job_queue_response.json.Members | selectattr('Name', 'eq', 'Remote Diagnostics') }}"
when:
- job_queue_response.json["Members@odata.count"] > 0
- ansible.builtin.debug:
var: diag_jobs
- block:
- name: get the diag job ID if still running
ansible.builtin.set_fact:
diag_job_id: "{{ item.Id }}"
diag_job_running: True
when:
- item.JobState == "Running"
loop: "{{ diag_jobs }}"
when:
- diag_jobs is defined and diag_jobs|length > 0
- ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ diag_job_id }} {{ diag_job_running }}"
when:
- diag_job_id is defined and diag_job_running is defined
- block:
- name: run diagnostics
ansible.builtin.uri:
url: "https://{{ inventory_hostname }}/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellLCService/Actions/DellLCService.RunePSADiagnostics"
user: "root"

- name: get the job ID
ansible.builtin.set_fact:
diag_job_id: "{{ diag_response.location.split('/')[-1] }}"
when:
- (diag_job_running is not defined) or (not diag_job_running)
- name: track job till completion

Hi, I am in need of a Redfish API that can validate if a particular job is run most recently in iDRAC 9.
For example: Remote diagnostic. Scheduled tart time: Scheduled end time.
Can we use the redfish URL ? URL /redfish/v1/Managers//Jobs/<Job-Id But we cannot use the job-id because that will vary unlike job name "Remote Diagnostics". As part of the script we need to collect the such job and its id
Example from a iDRAC 9 GUI
Would appreciate your support to advise the most suitable Redfish URL for iDRAC9.
