** Description changed: Please consider adding wsmancli to the main repository for Ubuntu Server. Availability - Latest upstream stable release was added to Universe for Trusty Tahr. Dell had previously been building unofficial ports of this package for Ubuntu for their server user base. Rationale - wsmancli provides a command-line interface for either interacting with a server running openwsman, and it can also be used for out-of-band administration of Dell PowerEdge 11G and 12G servers via the systems' integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC ). Many of our users run Ubuntu on PowerEdge hardware. + Lots of details here: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2010/07/19 /wsman-for-remote-management-of-dell-poweredge-11g-servers.aspx wsmancli also works with Intel's AMT technology: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/ws-management-and-intel-active-management-technology-a-primer + An additional use case for wsmancli is remote Windows management via + WinRM. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en- + us/library/aa384426(v=vs.85).aspx for details. + Security - There currently are no open vulnerability reports on the package QA - The project is maintained upstream on sourceforge, with the latest - release being 2.3.0, released in November 2012: + release being 2.3.6, released in November 2012: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwsman/files/wsmancli/ There is an active development forum: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=openwsman-devel No exotic hardware is involved to use this software. The Dell DRAC devices are supported in Ubuntu and are IPMI 2.0 compliant. Intel AMT technology has been out for a while now and will work under linux with the right tools (wmancli and amttool). The following additional packages need to be pulled into main as well, since wsmancli depends on them: libopenwsman1 I will file a separate request for libopenwsman1
