Hi @javalidapesada

iDRAC 7/8 does not support OEM extension to set individual iDRAC attributes with Redfish, you must leverage Server Configuration Profile (SCP) feature to set iDRAC attributes (scripts below).

Set-ExportServerConfigurationProfileLocalREDFISH
Set-ImportServerConfigurationProfileLocalREDFISH
Set-ImportServerConfigurationProfileLocalFilenameREDFISH

Can you let me know what attributes you're trying to set so i can send you a workflow example.

Thanks
Tex

Hi Tex, thanks for the rapid reply.

I need to be able to Disable\Enable the attribute EmailAlert.1.Enable.

I am running this on IDRAC9 with success:

Set-IdracLcSystemAttributesREDFISH -idrac_ip -idrac_username root -idrac_password calvin -attribute_names "EmailAlert.1.Enable" -attribute_group idrac -attribute_values "Disabled"

Should have a way to do it on iDRAC8 as it has the same option under alerts.

Thanks for your help.

Example below using SCP to set attribute EmailAlert.1.Enable to Disabled. Please copy SCP file contents below to create XML file and run the cmdlet. I also left other email alert attributes in the SCP file incase you want to configure them. If not please edit the SCP file and either remove them or comment out.

PS C:\> type .\SCP_file.xml
<SystemConfiguration>
<Component FQDD="iDRAC.Embedded.1">
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.1#Enable">Disabled</Attribute>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.1#Address"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.1#CustomMsg"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.2#Enable">Disabled</Attribute>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.2#Address"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.2#CustomMsg"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.3#Enable">Disabled</Attribute>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.3#Address"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.3#CustomMsg"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.4#Enable">Disabled</Attribute>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.4#Address"/>
 <Attribute Name="EmailAlert.4#CustomMsg"/>
</Component>
</SystemConfiguration>
