The Dell Storage enclosure REST API

• Device inventory using the GET commands available in the Server Hardware Management Command-Line Interface (SHM CLI)
• Device actions:
• Updating rmware
• Validating rmware
• Blinking a drive
• Turning o a drive slot within an enclosure

does not exist or is OFF, the service will be disabled.
