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 2: Get base registry¶
The method ex2_get_base_registry takes an instance of rest object (or redfish object if using Redfish API) as argument.
def ex2_get_base_registry(restobj):
A Restful GET request is performed next by calling the Rest object’s get method with the registries uri (‘/rest/v1/registries’) as parameter. For Redfish RESTful request the URI is (‘/redfish/v1/registries’)
response = restobj.rest_get("/rest/v1/Registries")
From the response body for each “Location” in “Items” with “Base” or “iLO” Id , a GET request in performed with the URI retrieved from [“Location”][“Uri”][“extref”].
for entry in response.dict["Items"]:
if entry["Id"] not in ["Base", "iLO"]:
continue
for location in entry["Location"]:
reg_resp = restobj.rest_get(location["Uri"]["extref"])
For successful response status, messages are added to MESSAGE_REGISTRIES.
if reg_resp.status == 200:
sys.stdout.write("\tFound " + entry["Id"] + " at " + \
location["Uri"]["extref"] + "\n")
MESSAGE_REGISTRIES[entry["Id"]] = reg_resp.dict["Messages"]
else:
sys.stdout.write("\t" + entry["Id"] + " not found at "\
+ location["Uri"]["extref"] + "\n")
