Description ----------

HPE RESTful API for iLO is a RESTful application programming interface for the management of iLO and iLO Chassis Manager based HPE servers. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a web based software architectural style consisting of a set of constraints that focuses on a system's resources. iLO REST library performs the basic HTTP operations GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE on resources using the HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State) REST architecture. The API allows the clients to manage and interact with iLO through a fixed URL and several URIs. Go to the wiki for more details.

pip install python-ilorest-library

Building from zip file source ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

python setup.py sdist --formats=zip (this will produce a .zip file)
cd dist
pip install python-ilorest-library-x.x.x.zip

Requirements ----------

No special requirements.

To enable support for inband communications, you must download the DLL/SO for your system from: windows / linux. It must be placed in your working environment path.

In RestfulApiExamples.py module, a rest object instance is created by calling the rest_client method with four parameters: IP address, iLO user name, iLO password and the default prefix.

REST_OBJ = ilorest.rest_client(base_url=host,username=login_account, \
                          password=login_password, default_prefix='/rest/v1') 

Just like Rest object, a Redfish object instance in RedfishAPiExamples.py is created by calling the redfish_client method with four parameters: IP address, iLO user name, iLO password and the default prefix.

REST_OBJ = ilorest.redfish_client(base_url=host,username=login_account, \ 
                             password=login_password, default_prefix='/redfish/v1')     

You must login to the server to create a session. You can continue with a basic authentication, but it would less secure.

REST_OBJ.login(auth="session")

Do a GET operation on a given path.

response = REST_OBJ.get("/rest/v1/systems/1", None)

Logout the created session ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Make sure you logout every session you create as it will remain alive until it times out.

REST_OBJ.logout()
