Software Development Kit for interacting with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) server management technology.
- iLO 4

Require the gem in your Gemfile:
gem 'ilo-sdk'
Then run
$ bundle install -
Or run the command:
$ gem install ilo-sdk
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
)đź”’ Tip: Check the file permissions when storing passwords in clear-text.
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.đź”’ Tip: Be sure nobody can access to your environment variables
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 attributeActions are performed on the client, and defined in the helper modules.
# Get list of users:
users = client.get_users
# Create a user:
client.create_user('user1', 'password123')

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

client.insert_virtual_media(id, image)
# Eject virtual media at a certain id:
client.eject_virtual_media(id)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: '[email protected]' }
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.
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:
$ ilo-ruby console
