Ruby SDK for HPE iLO

Gem Version Yard Docs

Software Development Kit for interacting with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) server management technology.

Supported iLO versions:

Installation

Client

Everything you do with this API happens through a client object. Creating the client object is the first step; then you can perform actions on the client.

require 'ilo-sdk'
client = ILO_SDK::Client.new(
  host: 'https://ilo.example.com',
  user: 'Administrator',              # This is the default
  password: 'secret123',
  ssl_enabled: true,                  # This is the default and strongly encouraged
  logger: Logger.new(STDOUT),         # This is the default
  log_level: :info,                   # This is the default
  disable_proxy: true                 # Default is false. Set to disable, even if ENV['http_proxy'] is set
)

:lock: Tip: Check the file permissions when storing passwords in clear-text.

Environment Variables

You can also set many client options using environment variables. For bash:

export ILO_HOST='https://oneview.example.com'
export ILO_USER='Administrator'
export ILO_PASSWORD='secret123'
export ILO_SSL_ENABLED=false # NOTE: Disabling SSL is strongly discouraged. Please see the CLI section for import instructions.

:lock: Tip: Be sure nobody can access to your environment variables

Custom logging

The default logger is a standard logger to STDOUT, but if you want to specify your own, you can. However, your logger must implement the following methods:

debug(String)
info(String)
warn(String)
error(String)
level=(Symbol, etc.) # The parameter here will be the log_level attribute

Actions

Actions are performed on the client, and defined in the helper modules.

Account Service

# Get list of users:
users = client.get_users

# Create a user:
client.create_user('user1', 'password123')

# Change a user's password:
client.change_password('user1', 'newpassword123')

# Delete a user:
client.delete_user('user1')

    "NIC.Slot.1.1.IPv4"
])

# Get temporary boot order:

# Get the current SSL Certificate and check to see if expires within 24 hours
expiration = client.get_certificate.not_after.to_datetime
tomorrow = DateTime.now + 1

if expiration < tomorrow
  # Generate a Certificate Signing Request:
  # Params: country_code, state, city, organization, organizational_unit, common_name
  client.generate_csr('US', 'Texas', 'Houston', 'myCompany', 'myUnit', 'example.com')

  # Wait for the CSR to be generated (will take about 10 minutes):
  csr = nil
  while(csr.nil?) do
    sleep(60) # 60 seconds
    csr = client.get_csr
  end

  # Here you'll need to have a step that submits the csr to a certificate authority
  # (or self-signs it) and gets back the signed certificate. It will look something like:
  # -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
  # lines_of_secret_text
  # -----END CERTIFICATE-----
  # For this example, we're assuming we've read in the content of the certificate to the
  # "cert" variable (as a string).

  client.import_certificate(cert)
end

log_type = 'IEL'
client.clear_logs(log_type)

# Check to see if a specific type of logs are empty:

privileges = {
  'LoginPriv' => true,
  'RemoteConsolePriv' => true,
  'UserConfigPriv' => true,
  'VirtualMediaPriv' => true,
  'VirtualPowerAndResetPriv' => true,
  'iLOConfigPriv' => true
}
client.set_account_privileges(username, privileges)

registry_prefix = 'Base'
registry = client.get_registry(registry_prefix)

image = 'http://10.254.224.38:5000/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso'
client.insert_virtual_media(id, image)

# Eject virtual media at a certain id:
client.eject_virtual_media(id)

Custom requests

This gem includes some useful helper methods, but sometimes you need to make your own custom requests to the iLO. This project makes it extremely easy to do with some built-in methods for the client object. Here are some examples:

# Get a list of schemas:
response = client.rest_api(:get, '/rest/v1/Schemas')
# or even more simple:
response = client.rest_get('/rest/v1/Schemas')

# Then we can validate the response and convert the response body into a hash...
data = client.response_handler(response)

# For updating iLO resources, use patch:
options = { ServiceName: 'iLO Admin', ServiceEmail: 'admin@domain.com' }
response = client.rest_patch('/redfish/v1/Systems/1/bios/Settings/', body: options)

# For creating new iLO resources, use post:
options = { UserName: 'admin', Password: '123' }
response = client.rest_post('/redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts/', body: options)

These example are about as basic as it gets, but you can make any type of iLO API request. If a helper does not do what you need, this will allow you to do it. Please refer to the documentation and code for complete list of methods and information about how to use them.

CLI

This gem also comes with a command-line interface to make interacting with the iLO API possible without needing to create a Ruby program.

Note: In order to use this, you will need to make sure your ruby bin directory is in your path. Run $ gem environment to see where the executable paths are for your Ruby installation.

To get started, run $ ilo-ruby --help.

To communicate with an appliance, you will need to set up a few environment variables so it knows how to communicate. Run $ ilo-ruby env to see the available environment variables.

Here are a few examples of how you might want to use the CLI:

Start an interactive console session with an iLO connection:
$ ilo-ruby console
Connected to https://ilo.example.com
HINT: The @client object is available to you
