PUT /aicc

Use this method to configure Lenovo XClarity Administrator settings (such as NTP server settings, date and time settings, and services that are currently running), change the virtual appliance name, and restart or shutdown the virtual appliance.

Note
Restarting or shutting down the virtual appliance causes any outstanding jobs to be interrupted and stopped. Before calling PUT /aicc to shut down or restart the virtual appliance, use GET /tasks to check for any outstanding jobs.

Authentication

Authentication with username and password is required.

Request URL
