Open spa10dec opened 2 years ago

spa10dec commented 2 years ago

Hi Dell Team, I have gone through the documentation & dell github account but there is no such module which can give access to Virtual Console of Idrac.I need to access Virtual Console Idrac through Ansible redfish module.

Regards, Sesh

@spa10dec, could you please expand on the use-case wrt. to the virtual console that you are looking to automate using Ansible? Are you looking to configure the following iDRAC virtual console attributes?

        "VirtualConsole.1.AccessPrivilege": "Deny Access",
        "VirtualConsole.1.AttachState": "Auto-attach",
        "VirtualConsole.1.CloseUnusedPort": "Disabled",
        "VirtualConsole.1.Enable": "Enabled",
        "VirtualConsole.1.EncryptEnable": "Enabled",
        "VirtualConsole.1.LocalDisable": "Disabled",
        "VirtualConsole.1.LocalVideo": "Enabled",
        "VirtualConsole.1.PluginType": "eHTML5",
        "VirtualConsole.1.TimeoutEnable": "Disabled",
        "VirtualConsole.1.WebRedirect": "Disabled",

OR, are you looking to automate sending the keystrokes to the virtual console?

We are you looking to automate sending the keystrokes to the virtual console.

We are trying to automate the installation of Windriver Starlingx on the dell xr11 servers through ansible. While doing so we need access to the cli of the virtual console without using the gui. Basically, we need to access the cli and other options shown in the virtual console from another remote server cli. Do we have any solution for this?
