Allow for local mode #23

Closed killermoehre closed 1 year ago

killermoehre commented 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Yes, currently vnic require credentials.

Bummer, but ok. Closing this as not possible.
