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 31: Set license key¶
The method ex31_set_ilicense_key takes an instance of rest object (or redfish object if using Redfish API) and iLO key as arguments.
def ex31_set_license_key(restobj, iLO_Key):
Find and get the system resource for manager.
instances = restobj.search_for_type("Manager.")
Send HTTP GET request to manager URI(s).
for instance in instances:
rsp = restobj.rest_get(instance["href"])
Prepare the request body with iLO license key provided.
body = dict()
body["LicenseKey"] = iLO_Key
Perform POST request and check response.
response = restobj.rest_post(rsp.dict["Oem"]["Hp"]["links"]
["LicenseService"]["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)
