info:
  title: Lenovo XClarity Administrator REST Inventory Sessions API
  description: 'Programmatic access to Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) for managing

    Lenovo servers, storage, and switches. The API surface includes session

    authentication, inventory of managed devices (servers, storage,

    switches, cabinets, canisters), and many other categories (firmware

    updates, OS deployment, events, jobs, configuration patterns).


    Only a representative subset of inventory and session endpoints is

    modeled here, drawn directly from the public XClarity Administrator

    REST API reference. See the documentation links for the full catalog.
