Set BIOS iSCSI
If not created already, create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address, 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_host, login_account, login_password)
Redfish Object creation:
REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)
The method ex35_set_bios_iscsi takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ) and iSCSI settings as arguments.
def ex35_set_bios_iscsi(restobj, bios_properties, bios_password=None):
Find and get the iSCSI settings URI from the systems resources collection.
instances = restobj.search_for_type("HpiSCSISoftwareInitiator.")
For the iSCSI settings, prepare the request body with only the iSCSI settings we want to change and perform the PATCH request.
for instance in instances:
response = restobj.rest_patch(instance["href"], bios_properties, \
bios_password)
restobj.error_handler(response)
A successful PATCH response will set the iSCSI settings to the new values provided, however the changes will go into effect only after a system reset or reboot.
