Overview 9
URIs Supported
SCV supports Application Programming Interfaces (API) to access information using an API client. For more information about
using APIs, see the iDRAC9 Redfish API guide at developer.dell.com. Following is the list of URIs and the supported methods:
● Download SCV certificates
GET: /dtapi/rest/v1/x509-certificates
Example response
{
"certificate": “<SCV_CERT_CONTENT>",
"certificate_format": "PEM",
"id": "scv_factory"
}

NOTE: After getting 'Ready' state in racadm getremoteservicesstatus output, ensure that you wait for about
120 seconds before running the scv commands.
NOTE: An error 'Collecting System Inventory: Fail' may be displayed while performing the scv
validatesysteminventory command with -d option, if the directory path length exceeds 150 characters.
NOTE: Use the command scv help to get more information on SCV and how to run it.
NOTE: 'Downloading SCV Factory Certificate: Fail' error is displayed when scv validatesysteminventory
command is performed while the host firewall is enabled. To run the command successfully, ensure that you create
outbound rule for I.P. address 169.254.1.1.
NOTE: After getting 'Ready' state in racadm getremoteservicesstatus output, ensure that you wait for about
