DMTF Redfish Mockup 1.1 Simulation

  1. Table of Contents

  2. Overview

    3. This update package ships a basic Web simulation of a Redfish API as detailed in the DMTF Redfish Mockup 1.1 page. The intent is to scale up a data center simulation with many simulated servers with Redfish management API.

    This simulation interoperates with redfish-client and Redfishtool and others as detailed in the Compatibility section below.

  3. Prerequisites

    4. To run this simulation, you must have installed the following optional modules as documented in the online documentation:

    • WEB Services

  4. Usage

    5. To run the simulation, configure an agent with the WEB module in the Advanced tab of the Edit Configuration dialog invoked from Edit->Configure in the MIMICView GUI, and select one of the rule files under redfish-mockup-1.1/ in the Web tab.

    • Start agent 1 using the Agent->Start menu item.

    • Use MIMICView Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste to duplicate agents.

    Once running, access the simulated device(s) with one of the applications in the Compatibility section below.

  5. Compatibility

    6. redfish-client

    You can access the Redfish API from redfish-client such as 

    (redfish) bash-4.3$ redfish-client system getinfo
