- ``driver_info/irmc_password`` property to be ``password`` for
irmc_username.
+ .. note::
+ Fujitsu server equipped with iRMC S6 2.00 or later version of firmware
+ disables IPMI over LAN by default. However user may be able to enable IPMI
+ via BMC settings.
+ To handle this change, ``irmc`` hardware type first tries IPMI and,
+ if IPMI operation fails, ``irmc`` hardware type uses Redfish API of Fujitsu
+ server to provide Ironic functionalities.
+ So if user deploys Fujitsu server with iRMC S6 2.00 or later, user needs
+ to set Redfish related parameters in ``driver_info``.
+
+ - ``driver_info/redifsh_address`` property to be ``IP address`` or
+ ``hostname`` of the iRMC. You can prefix it with protocol (e.g.
+ ``https://``). If you don't provide protocol, Ironic assumes HTTPS
+ (i.e. add ``https://`` prefix).
+ iRMC with S6 2.00 or later only support HTTPS connection to Redfish API.
+ - ``driver_info/redfish_username`` to be user name of iRMC with administrative
+ privileges
+ - ``driver_info/redfish_password`` to be password of ``redfish_username``
+ - ``driver_info/redfish_verify_ca`` accepts values those accepted in
+ ``driver_info/irmc_verify_ca``
+ - ``driver_info/redfish_auth_type`` to be one of ``basic``, ``session`` or
+ ``auto``
+
* If ``port`` in ``[irmc]`` section of ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf`` or
``driver_info/irmc_port`` is set to 443, ``driver_info/irmc_verify_ca``
will take effect:
