First create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address formatted as a string (“https://xx.xx.xx.xx”), iLO login username and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 1: Get resource directoryΒΆ

The method ex1_get_resource_directory takes an instance of rest object (or redfish object if using Redfish API) as argument.

def ex1_get_resource_directory(restobj):

A Restful GET request is performed next by calling the Rest object’s get method with the resource directory URI (‘/rest/v1/resourcedirectory‘) as parameter. For Redfish RESTful request the URI is (‘/redfish/v1/resourcedirectory‘)

response = restobj.rest_get("/rest/v1/resourcedirectory")

For a successful response status, resource directory is retrieved from the response body.

if response.status == 200:
    sys.stdout.write("\tFound resource directory at /rest/v1/resource" \
                     "directory" + "\n\n")
    SYSTEMS_RESOURCES["resources"] = response.dict["Instances"]

else:
    sys.stderr.write("\tResource directory missing at /rest/v1/resource" \
                     "directory" + "\n")

Nested within the if, else statement, resources are listed by type and URI. A try and except is used to skip those without types.

for resource in response.dict["Instances"]:
    try:
    sys.stdout.write("\t" + str(resource["@odata.type"]) + \
                     "\n\t\t" + str(resource["@odata.id"]) + "\n")
    except KeyError:
       pass
