Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules

What it does

Provides ready‑made Ansible modules and roles to automate Dell PowerEdge server management (iDRAC, BIOS, firmware, RAID, etc.) from a single playbook.

When to use it

•You need to roll out BIOS or firmware updates across dozens of Dell servers without manual SSH/GUI work.
•You want to enforce consistent iDRAC user accounts, network settings, or power policies via code.
•You are building CI/CD pipelines that include hardware provisioning or compliance checks for Dell hardware.

Ready-to-paste prompt

ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini -e 'ansible_user=admin ansible_password=SecretPwd' update_firmware.yml

Heads up: The collection requires Ansible ≥ 2.9 and Python 3.8+, and iDRAC must have the Redfish API enabled; otherwise the modules will fail with authentication errors.
