Dell EMC PowerVault MD3060e - Accessing the Dell Storage REST Service

• To change the REST server listening IP or Port, under the “[SHMREST]” section of the conguration le, modify the IP value to
indicate which IP and port the REST server must bind to. By default, the REST server binds to 127.0.0.1:8012.
NOTE: Firewall services will most likely need to be modied in order to access the REST server from remote servers.
Accessing the REST service
The base URL for a REST request is in the following format:
http://<host>:<port>/api/<Program_Space>/<version>
Table 32. Accessing the REST service
Parameter Description
Host The address of the host running the REST server. This address can be the Fully Qualied Domain Name
(FQDN) of the host or an IP address.
Port The port number opened for REST trac. The default port is 8012.
Program_Space The application namespace: “SEM”.
Version The mainly supported version is 1.0 and later.
For example, the base URL http://127.0.0.1:8012/api/SEM/1.0/ is used to access the REST server locally.
NOTE
: For the remainder of this chapter, [base_url] is used in place of the base URL syntax.
To obtain information about dierent devices, you must use the following REST query:
[base_url]/<item_group>
To obtain information about a single device, you must use the following REST query:
[base_url]/<item_group>/<index | wwid>
The <item_group> variable represents the dierent types of devices contained within the storage enclosure. Following are the item_ group
values (device types):
• adapters
2
• currentsensors
• drawers
• drives
1, 2
• driveslots
• enclosures

• emms

EMM and drive item groups are queried at a higher level without having to reference an adapter or enclosure.
NOTE:

Adapters, enclosures, and drives are the only item groups that can provide more information about a single device in the
item group by specifying an index value or World Wide ID (WWID).
