Introduction

Lenovo ThinkSystem™ Manager(TSM, the BMC of ThinkSystem SR635 and SR655 servers) provides a DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) Redfish™ compliant set of easy-to-use RESTful APIs that can be used to access the TSM data and services from applications running outside of the TSM framework. This document provides a brief overview of Redfish and guidelines for using the TSM Redfish APIs.

The TSM Redfish implementation follows DSP0266 1.8.0 Specification and Redfish Schema 2019.2.

  • Authentication Methods
    Redfish requires the use of a compliant TLS connection to transport the data. TSM Redfish interface supports both Basic Authentication and Session Login Authentication. Per Redfish specification, the only resource that can be accessed without requiring authentication is the service root /redfish/v1/.
  • Lenovo Extended Registries
    Registry resources assist in interpreting Redfish resources beyond what is defined in the Redfish Schema. Examples of registries include Message Registries, Event Registries and BIOS Attribute Registries.
