failed to get firmwares inventory

[survietamine]

Hello, running get_firmware_inventory.yml against a 13g (r630) server with latest firmware (2.50.50.50), it failed. Others playbooks like get_system_inventory.yml worked fine. So, did I missed something? Do I have to enable some config in iDRAC?

@survietamine 13G Servers does not support firmware update

[survietamine]

@prabhakarpujeri thanks for your answer! I don't want to update my firmwares. Since that playbook is named get_firmware_inventory, should I still be able to list my firmwares from all my iDRAC using redfish?

[prabhakarpujeri]

even inventory collection API's are not available for 13G

[survietamine]

@prabhakarpujeri uffff, that redfish thing looks very new. So 14G is the way to go to nicely play with redfish and ansible?

[survietamine]

OK, I've seen in the README that Inventory won't work on all platforms. But why didn't I get what is mentionned in that example:

fatal: [r630 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Not supported on this platform"} ...ignoring

survietamine, I just pushed a lot of new updates yesterday in an effort to make the module more vendor-neutral, so error messages are a bit more generic. I need to update the README, expect updates today or tomorrow.

[jose-delarosa]

@survietamine Updated the README with proper error message when getting firmware inventory. But as @prabhakarpujeri mentioned, firmware inventory and firmware upgrade are currently only supported in 14G PowerEdge servers.

[survietamine]

Thank you very much both guys :p
