SCCI

The SCCI is a generic application programming interface (API) defined by Cisco for
different Server Management Controller hardware. It can be easily extended to cover
new commands or new configuration items.
On the Baseboard Management Controller page of the iRMC web interface you can
save (export) the current iRMC configuration data in a configuration file (.pre). You can
also restore (import) the iRMC configuration data from an existing configuration file, i.e.
load configuration data onto the iRMC.
To import iRMC configuration data, you can alternatively send the corresponding SCCI
command file to the /config URI of the iRMC via the HTTP POST operation.
You can import configuration files via the SCCI API using commands of the following
languages:
cURL
l
VB script
l
Python
l
This section provides information on the following topics:
How to use an SCCI (Server Common Command Interface) compliant interface
l
for configuring the iRMC.
SCCI commands supported by the iRMC.
l
Scripted configuration of the iRMC using various script languages.

Please note that the interface described is mainly for remote configuration
and is not an SCCI implementation. It only uses the SCCI command and
configuration definitions and the SCCI file format.

iRMC configuration data

The iRMC stores internal configuration data in separate sections of its NVRAM (non-
volatile RAM):
ConfigSpace data, which is addressed by the firmware via an internal
l
description or mapping table.
Original, manufacturer-specific OMD NVCFG data, which is accessed by offset
l
definitions.
