Description

Builds Redfish URIs locally and sends them to remote iDRAC controllers to get information back.

For use with Dell EMC iDRAC operations that require Redfish OEM extensions

This module was called C(idrac_redfish_facts) before Ansible 2.9, returning C(ansible_facts). Note that the M(idrac_redfish_info) module no longer returns C(ansible_facts)!
