get_resource_directory error

[hassan-ayo]

Hello ,

When I run the script " add_user_account.py" I get the error bellow :

From get_resource_directory import get_resource_directory ImportError : No module named get_resource_directory

Please help to fix it

[topritchett]

Do you have the "get_resource_directory.py" file in the same directory as the "add_user_account.py" script you are running?

If not, you could move it there, or you could remove/comment out the lines 25#from get_resource_directory import get_resource_directory 29#resource_instances = get_resource_directory(_redfishobj)

And change: 111DISABLE_RESOURCE_DIR = False to DISABLE_RESOURCE_DIR = True

[hassan-ayo]

Thank you it works for get_resource-directory .

I dont know what is wrong with RedfishClient , I get the error bellow

from redfish import Redfishclient ImportError : cannot import name RedfishClient

Thank you

[topritchett]

from redfish import Redfishclient ImportError : cannot import name RedfishClient

Could you try reinstalling the library? Either build from source, or pip install python-ilorest-library

[hassan-ayo]

yes I unistall it and install it many time using pip , but still stuck with redfishClient import error

Cannot find reference "RedfishClient" in "--init--.py"

@hassan-ayo Which version of the library are you using? 3.0 was the first version we started using the RedfishClient class.

[hassan-ayo]

yep it's python-ilorest-library-3.0.0

[Yergidy]

Do you also have the DMTF python-redfish-library installed? Because of Python's packaging mechanism installing both of them will result in overwritten files, which can cause these type of errors.

[hassan-ayo]

right , the python-redfish-library was installed , I remove it and the script works properly .

on some iLO it doesn't create the account , it gives me the message [ { "MessageArgs": [ "RoleId" ], "MessageId": "Base.0.10.PropertyUnknown" } ]

On the most iLO it works fine but some iLO no ( I am using only iLO4 and 5)

Maybe the is more properties on iLO5 and less on iLO4

[Yergidy]

iLO 4 does not support adding an account by RoleId you must use the privilege dictionary. We may need to update the example to ensure this also works on iLO 4 Redfish.

[hassan-ayo]

Thank you so much for your help

[hassan-ayo]

I am trying the modify the script to work also for iLO4 , is there any suggestion to disable the Role_ID after that I will keep only 5 privilege dictionary to much with iLO4

[KeepSummerSaf3]

body = {"RoleId": role_id} The above statement will not apply to you.

Additionally, you may need to reduce your privilege dictionary to include only the following keys:

['LoginPriv', 'RemoteConsolePriv', 'UserConfigPriv', 'VirtualMediaPriv', 'VirtualPowerAndResetPriv', 'iLOConfigPriv']

'HostNICConfigPriv', 'HostBIOSConfigPriv', 'HostStorageConfigPriv' and 'SystemRecoveryConfigPriv' are likely not supported in your iLO version.

(You can verify the privileges by performing a get on any of the accounts in /redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts/, 'i.e: _redfishobj.get('/redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts/1/') or by referencing the manager accounts schema (/redfish/v1/SchemaStore/en/HpiLOAccount.json/)

[hassan-ayo]

Thank you for your feed back

The privilege dictionary is reduced to match with iLO4 , but my question is how to disable the "body" parameter, it's everywhere in the function :

• body = {"Oem":{"Hpe":{"Privileges":{}}}} -body["Oem"]["Hpe"][""Privileges"][priv] = privilege_dict[priv] -body["Oem"][Hpe"]["LoginName"] = new_loginname -body["UserName"] = new_username -body["Password"] = new_password .......... The function was built around "body" , I think it needs a deep update to work on iLO5 and iLO4

[topritchett]

The body is just a variable to hold the values needed for the post command. Here is a stripped down version of the script that will add a new user account on a Gen9 server. Hopefully that will help you understand what we are doing in our example.

add_user_account.zip

Let me know if that helps you.

[hassan-ayo]

Thank you for sharing the doc , I will test it and get back to you Regards

Hey there, thanks a lot for all the helpful info. I was able to get it working for iLO 5 for adding a user. I have a generic code based on the example shared that can be easily converted to iLO 4 if you want:

import sys
import requests

server_ipmiAddress = "x.x.x.x"
server_user = "xxxxxx"
server_pass = "xxxxxxx"
body = {'Oem': {'Hpe': {'Privileges': {"LoginPriv": True, "RemoteConsolePriv": True,
        "UserConfigPriv": True, "VirtualMediaPriv": True, "VirtualPowerAndResetPriv": True,
        "iLOConfigPriv": True, "HostNICConfigPriv": True, "HostBIOSConfigPriv": True, "HostStorageConfigPriv": True, "SystemRecoveryConfigPriv": True},
        'LoginName': 'testuser'}},'UserName': 'newuser', 'Password': 'newpasswrod'}

ilo_headers={'Content-type':'application/json', 'Accept':'application/json'}
request_status = requests.post("https://" + server_ipmiAddress + "/redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts/", headers=ilo_headers, verify=False, auth=(server_user, server_pass), json=body)

sys.stdout.write("%s\n" % request_status)

Hope that helps :)

You are welcome. Your suggestions are noted and will be incorporated into the next release Please let us know if you have any further questions,

[umar1farooq1]

I forgot to mention one thing, iLO 4 uses the value 'Hp' instead of 'Hpe' in body, else it will give the MessageId": "Base.0.10.PropertyUnknown response. So you need to change that also for iLO 4.

[rajeevkallur]

Fixed. Add User Account is fixed for Gen9 as well. Same script should work for both gen9 and gen10 https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-ilorest-library/blob/master/examples/Redfish/add_user_account.py

yes I unistall it and install it many time using pip , but still stuck with redfishClient import error

Cannot find reference "RedfishClient" in "--init--.py"

Command to install HPE library is "pip install python-ilorest-library".
(Note : First do this "pip uninstall redfish", this is NOT HPE library)

[bhlzu21]

Hello, I am currently working on an important project for my finals and I am stuck... I am still having a similar or even identical issue even though this seems to be fixed. I have been given an iLO4 and been tasked with creating users on this interface with ansible

All I am getting after running the playbook is:

failed: [ansible-1 -> localhost] (item={'new_username': 'admin', 'new_password': 'password', 'roleid': 'Administrator'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": {"new_password": "password", "new_username": "admin", "roleid": "Administrator"}, "msg": "HTTP Error 400 on POST request to 'https://{baseuri}/redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts', extended message: '[{'MessageArgs': ['RoleId'], 'MessageId': 'Base.0.10.PropertyUnknown'}]'"}

I'd be very very thankful for any help
