Can we use Ansible Ad-hoc commands / playbooks to make changes at Dell/HP/IBM servers hardware level e.g., firmware,bios upgrade

Hello Surya,

you can follow two paths:

- use raw module (as i did years ago with a simple IMM interaction)

- look for appropriate modules or develop them. Check ansible
collections, maybe this modules already exists

In addition to this search Galaxy. For example

shell> ansible-galaxy role search --galaxy-tags dell bios
shell> ansible-galaxy role search --galaxy-tags hp bios
shell> ansible-galaxy role search --galaxy-tags ibm bios
