The SCCI is a generic application programming interface (API) defined by 
Fujitsu for different Server Management Controller hardware as well as Server 
Management software (e.g. ServerView Agents). It can be easily extended to 
cover new commands or new configuration items. For an architectural overview 
of the SCCI, see the online help of the ServerView agents.

Starting with iRMC S2 firmware 5.20A (IPv6 version), the iRMC S2/S3 supports 
remote configuration and limited scripting via the 

 in the 

iRMC S2/S3.

Remote configuration of the iRMC S2/S3 via web-based access provides the 
following benefits:

–

Uses HTTP POST operation for uploading files onto the iRMC S2/S3. No 
special tool is required. Any generic tool or scripting environments 
supporting authenticated HTTP POST operations can be used. Sample 
scripts can be found on the ServerView Suite DVD 1.

–

Uses built-in authentication and authorization methods of the iRMC S2/S3 
Web server.

–

Supports HTTP 1.1 Basic and Digest authentication based on RFC 2617 
with local iRMC S2/S3 user accounts.

–

Features optional built-in strong encryption with standard HTTPS-based 
access.

–

Can be used with global user accounts (managed by an LDAP directory 
service) and HTTP 1.1 Basic authentication. 

I

If HTTP 1.1 Basic authentication is used, it is recommended that, for 
encryption and confidentiality reasons, you use the HTTPS protocol 
to protect the username/password combination.

–

Uses a configuration file format that is based on XML. You have the option 
to edit the file manually, or to export it from a reference installation or from 
the Server Configuration Manager. 

The configuration file can be re-used with other SCCI based installation 
methods (e.g. Server Configuration Manager).

–

Can be easily extended to new configuration items and new supported SCCI 
commands.
