Project description

Redfish Tacklebox

Copyright 2019-2020 DMTF. All rights reserved.

About

Redfish Tacklebox contains a set of Python utilities to perform common management operations with a Redfish service. The utilities can be used as part of larger management applications, or be used as standalone command line tools.

Installation

pip install redfish_utilities

Building from Source

python setup.py sdist
pip install dist/redfish_utilities-x.x.x.tar.gz

Requirements

External modules:

You may install the external modules by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Utilities

Discover

usage: rf_discover.py [-h]

A tool to discover Redfish services

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example: rf_discover.py

The tool will perform an SSDP request to find all available Redfish services. Once all of the responses are collected, it will print each service with its UUID and service root.

Sensor List

usage: rf_sensor_list.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST

A tool to walk a Redfish service and list sensor info

required arguments:
  --user USER, -u USER  The user name for authentication
  --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
                        The password for authentication
  --rhost RHOST, -r RHOST
                        The address of the Redfish service (with scheme)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Example: rf_sensor_list.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the chassis collection for the service, and reads their respective power and thermal resources. Using the information from those resources, it will build a sensor table and print the information collected.

System Inventory

usage: rf_sys_inventory.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST
                           [--details] [--noabsent] [--write [WRITE]]

A tool to walk a Redfish service and list component information

required arguments:
  --user USER, -u USER  The user name for authentication
  --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
                        The password for authentication
  --rhost RHOST, -r RHOST
                        The address of the Redfish service (with scheme)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --details, -details   Indicates if the full details of each component should
                        be shown
  --noabsent, -noabsent
                        Indicates if absent devices should be skipped
  --write [WRITE], -w [WRITE]
                        Indicates if the inventory should be written to a
                        spreadsheet and what the file name should be if given

Example: rf_sys_inventory.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100 -details

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the chassis collection for the service, and collects component information for processors, memory, drives, PCIe devices, network adapters, and storage controllers. Using the information collected, it will build an inventory table and print the information.

Logs

usage: rf_logs.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST
                  [--manager [MANAGER]] [--system [SYSTEM]]
                  [--chassis [CHASSIS]] [--log LOG] [--details] [--clear]

A tool to manage logs on a Redfish service

required arguments:
  --user USER, -u USER  The user name for authentication
  --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
                        The password for authentication
  --rhost RHOST, -r RHOST
                        The address of the Redfish service (with scheme)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --manager [MANAGER], -m [MANAGER]
                        The ID of the manager containing the log service
  --system [SYSTEM], -s [SYSTEM]
                        The ID of the system containing the log service
  --chassis [CHASSIS], -c [CHASSIS]
                        The ID of the chassis containing the log service
  --log LOG, -l LOG     The ID of the resource containing the log service
  --details, -details   Indicates details to be shown for each log entry
  --clear, -clear       Indicates if the log should be cleared

Example: rf_logs.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100 -m BMC

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It will then attempt to locate the appropriate log service via the following logic:

  • If the manager argument is provided, it will traverse the manager collection for the matching manager.
  • If the system argument is provided, it will traverse the system collection for the matching system.
  • If the chassis argument is provided, it will traverse the chassis collection for the matching chassis.
  • If any of the above arguments are provided without a specified Id, but the collection contains exactly one member, then that member is used.
  • If none of the above arguments are provided, then the tool will try to use a manager in the manager collection if there is only one member present.
  • Within the member, the tool will find the matching log service based on the log argument.
    • If log is not specified, and there is exactly one log service in the member, then the tool will use that one log service.

Once the desired log service is found, the tool will either perform the ClearLog action if clear is provided, or read and display the log entries.

Power/Reset

usage: rf_power_reset.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST
                         [--system SYSTEM]

  --type {On,ForceOff,GracefulShutdown,GracefulRestart,ForceRestart,Nmi,ForceOn,PushPowerButton,PowerCycle}, -t {On,ForceOff,GracefulShutdown,GracefulRestart,ForceRestart,Nmi,ForceOn,PushPowerButton,PowerCycle}
  --info, -info         Indicates if reset information should be reported

Example: rf_power_reset.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100 -t GracefulRestart

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the system collection for the service to find the matching system specified by the system argument. It will perform the Reset action with the specified reset type from the type argument.

  • If system is not specified, and if the service has exactly one system, it will perform the operation on the one system.
  • If type is not specified, it will attempt a GracefulRestart.

Boot Override

                        device to boot. If target is 'UefiBootNext', the UEFI
                        Boot Option string of the device to boot.
  --reset, -reset       Signifies that the system is reset after the boot
                        override is set

Example: rf_boot_override.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100 -t Pxe -reset

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the system collection for the service to find the matching system specified by the system argument.

  • If system is not specified, and if the service has exactly one system, it will perform the operation on the one system.

The tool will then perform an operation on the Boot object within the matching system.

  • If target is specified, it will update the Boot object to set the boot override to be target.
    • If reset is provided, it will reset the system after updating the Boot object.
  • If target is not specified, it will display the current boot override settings for the system.

BIOS Settings

Example: rf_bios_settings.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100 -a BiosMode Legacy

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the system collection for the service to find the matching system specified by the system argument.

  • If system is not specified, and if the service has exactly one system, it will perform the operation on the one system.

The tool will then get the BIOS resource for the matching system.

  • If attribute is specified, it will update the BIOS resource with the new attribute value.
  • If attribute is not specified, it will display the BIOS settings.
