Exporting SCP from redfish is currently not using the right method

[felixs88]

QwikContext

For exporting SCP using redfish (and local share), we are using _scp_export_to_local_share_redfish, this method is not defined in https://github.com/dell/omsdk/blob/5d2ead24b10fd213fb32d5bb9a8a8fb6ef8be2a2/omdrivers/lifecycle/iDRAC/iDRACConfig.py#L2372

Details

_scp_export_to_local_share_redfish is actually defined in https://github.com/dell/omsdk/blob/5d2ead24b10fd213fb32d5bb9a8a8fb6ef8be2a2/omdrivers/lifecycle/iDRAC/iDRACConfig.py#L197 which is as I understand it is for WsMan only, meaning that when we instantiate PREDFISH, we're getting commands from https://github.com/dell/omsdk/blob/5d2ead24b10fd213fb32d5bb9a8a8fb6ef8be2a2/omdrivers/lifecycle/iDRAC/iDRACConfig.py#L2372 which lacks that method.

The call for that method is here: https://github.com/dell/omsdk/blob/master/omdrivers/lifecycle/iDRAC/iDRACConfig.py#L4964

That comment seems to imply that actions are ongoing around these methods: https://github.com/dell/omsdk/blob/master/omdrivers/lifecycle/iDRAC/iDRACConfig.py#L2064

Repro Steps

Use https://github.com/dell/Dell-EMC-Ansible-Modules-for-iDRAC with the following configuration:

---
- hosts: oob
  name: Export Server Configuration Profile to local folder
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False

  tasks:
    - name: Export Server Configuration Profile to local folder
      dellemc_export_server_config_profile:
        idrac_ip:        "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        idrac_user:      "root"
        idrac_pwd:       'password'
        share_name:      "{{ playbook_dir }}"
        scp_components:  "ALL"
        job_wait:        "True"
      tags:
        - scp_components_bios
      delegate_to: localhost

It'll return an empty dict that won't be written to the file you specify in share_name.

Impact

I can't export SCP to local file, import seems to be impacted as well if I read it correctly.

NeedBy

ASAP, happy to help, I can probably copy/move the methods over to https://github.com/dell/omsdk/blob/5d2ead24b10fd213fb32d5bb9a8a8fb6ef8be2a2/omdrivers/lifecycle/iDRAC/iDRACConfig.py#L2372 but I'm not sure if their absence is intended or n

Severity

Export is not working so Major.

@xiu, We have to rebuild the omsdk repository, So we are recreating your issue.

@anupamaloke response,

thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will take a look into this issue and fix it. In the meanwhile, I can confirm that export and import using redfish are working fine for 14G servers. Could you please let us know the iDRAC firmware against which you are facing this issue?
