Allow for local mode #23

Closed killermoehre closed 11 months ago

killermoehre commented 11 months ago

With the ilorest tool provided by https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/ilorest/ one does not need to connect via the remote interface, but can use a local connection mode.

Can the collection be used with the local mode?

donzef commented 11 months ago

I doubt about that because this Ansible collection uses the DMTF Redfish Python Library and not the HPE Redfish Python Library that iLOrest is based upon. @rajeevkallur should be able to confirm/infirm.

That said, it is possible to access the iLO via the Host Interface, also called Virtual NIC

This interface is completely internal.

killermoehre commented 11 months ago

Does this interface require credentials? Because this is one of the really nice features of the local_connect, that you don't need them.

rajeevkallur commented 11 months ago

Yes, currently vnic require credentials.

Bummer, but ok. Closing this as not possible.
