Hello, running get_firmware_inventory.yml against a 13g (r630) server with latest firmware (2.50.50.50), it failed.
Others playbooks like get_system_inventory.yml worked fine. So, did I missed something? Do I have to enable some config in iDRAC?

@survietamine 13G Servers does not support firmware update

@prabhakarpujeri thanks for your answer!
I don't want to update my firmwares. Since that playbook is named get_firmware_inventory, should I still be able to list my firmwares from all my iDRAC using redfish?

prabhakarpujeri commented

even inventory collection API's are not available for 13G

survietamine commented

@prabhakarpujeri uffff, that redfish thing looks very new. So 14G is the way to go to nicely play with redfish and ansible?

survietamine commented

OK, I've seen in the README that Inventory won't work on all platforms.
But why didn't I get what is mentionned in that example:

fatal: [r630 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Not supported on this platform"}

survietamine, I just pushed a lot of new updates yesterday in an effort to make the module more vendor-neutral, so error messages are a bit more generic. I need to update the README, expect updates today or tomorrow.

jose-delarosa commented

@survietamine Updated the README with proper error message when getting firmware inventory. But as @prabhakarpujeri mentioned, firmware inventory and firmware upgrade are currently only supported in 14G PowerEdge servers.
