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 18: Set server asset tag

The method ex18_set_server_asset_tag takes an instance of rest object (or redfish object if using Redfish API) and asset tag to be set as arguments.

def ex18_set_server_asset_tag(restobj, asset_tag):

Find and get the system resource for computer system.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("ComputerSystem.")

For each system for the systems collection asset tag parameter is set as the body for PATCH request.

for instance in instances:
     body = {"AssetTag": asset_tag}

The PATCH request is performed with the asset tag in the body.

response = restobj.rest_patch(instance["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)
