Hi Team,

I am a newbie to Redfish. I have created a RedfishMockServer using and RedfishMockupCreator and the server is up.

I wanted to use redfishtool to fetch the data "http://10.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000/redfish/v1/Chassis/1U/Power/" ?

Can someone give me some points to fetch the "/redfish/v1/Chassis/1U/power " data please ?

I am able to fetch the chassis data successfully using the following command:

python3 redfishtool.py -r 10.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000 -u root -p 0penBmc1 Chassis

Also i tried to fetch the "1U" data using the following command but no luck:
python3 redfishtool.py -r 10.138.129.156:8000 -u root -p 0penBmc1 Chassis -I "1U"

Can someone give me pointers to fetch the "/redfish/v1/Chassis/1U/Power/" data.

Thanks & Regards,
Khader B Shaik

I'm on a Dell. I see the setting in /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1, but I can't seem to get a POST command to work.

PowerCycle is not listed as one of the ResetTypes supported in Redfishtool. When will it be added?

Not sure if this is appropriate question it may be more of an HP DL360 question but...

I am trying to use redfishtool to change a BIOS setting on an HP DL360. I am using the same general technique that I used on other Redfish implementations (like supermicro) and it worked fine there.

python3 redfishtool.py -r ilomxq61101ng -u name -p password raw PATCH -d '{"ProcHyperthreading": "Disabled"}' /redfish/v1/systems/1/bios

but on the DL360 this gives:
redfishtool: Transport: Response Error: status_code: 405 -- Method Not Allowed

Should I be able to change a BIOS setting in this way on that system?

All commands that I submit through the redfishtool are met with bad request syntax error on the simulator side.

For example:

python redfishtool.py --user=root --password=password123456 --rhost=127.0.0.1:5000 Chassis list

Response is:

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Aug/2017 13:11:09] "GET /redfish/v1/ HTTP/1.1" 200 -

The simulator was started using the command: python redfishProfileSimulatorMain.py

Am I missing some configuration or is this a bug?

Hi Dell,
Could you design a centralized "Brokers" redfish API to consolidate the sensor readings?
If I want to get power consumption, thermal, Intel ME readings... etc., I have to invoke the Systems or Chassis API subcomponent many times. Is it possible to design a "broker" settings to deliver sensor reading value for management software in the future? It will be more convenient to monitor servers.
Sorry for that I don't know how to give feedback to DMTF, so I leave my message here.

Sincerely,
John

Can anyone please help me out

See Redfish-Mockup-Creator/issues/35 for a description of error seen when looping over a series of nextLinks in the case where the MaxNextLinks property limits the number nextLinks to follow.

Will correct the logic here in Redfishtool and then copy over this version of redfishtoolTransport.py to the Redfish-Mockup-Creator repo.

Redfishtool Managers setTimeOffset offset=<offsetString> has two issues:

1. the main usage in Managers -h has wrong format. left off the offset=
   but the error message usage prints have it correct
2. the parser is not parsing offset=
   .
   Note that the form offset=<offsetString> was used because offsetString cant be a normal commandline argument since it can start with a - char. so intent had been to pass in with offset=<offsetString> all along as indicated by the error messages.
   .
   See Pull Request to fix

Per discussion in the Legacy Removal TF, one of the commonly-stated barriers to Redfish usage is the difficulty in dealing with the hypermedia URIs (i.e. "no fixed URIs"). With v1.6 we fixed much of this, but users still need to know the "Id" value for each Resource Collection. However, for the vast majority of users today, the primary collections (Systems, Chassis, Managers) have exactly one member. But we can't assume the Id value (nor do we want to open that can of worms again), so the user has to learn that Id by first reading the collection resource.

To improve this experience for most users, we should enhance Redfishtool to assume the URI / ID target for most commands if it is not specified, using the following rules:

• Traverse each Collection using the "only" query parameter (to show this usage in the code!) to determine if there is exactly one member in the collection.
• If only one member exists, use that ID value to execute the command, and output the ID value with messages to explain how to use it. Example: "No ID specified, found Systems ID '234z343' to apply".
• If multiple members exist, fail the command and display all of the ID values found with any useful context and explain proper usage to specify which target. Example: "No ID target specified, found multiple Chassis IDs: '1', '2', '3', 'enclosure', 'pwrshelf'. Re-issue command with -I to select target.

AFAICT, Redfishtool currently requires that the Redfish password be passed as a command-line argument. This is a well known anti-pattern, as it potentially allows anyone who can view the process list on the system to view the password.

At a minimum, Redfish tool should be able to read the password from a file, which is useful for scripting. It would be nice if it were able to prompt for the password, for more "one off" usage.

via redfishtool.py, I would like to send content-type as multipart/form-data and file information. I have this command via CURL, but how can we send this via redfishtool.py ?

time curl -k -u Administrator:superuser -X POST -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data' -F

In my test, seems to give up too quickly for some pages that require access to internal IPMI resources.
There was discussion. Is there a fix pending for this?
Adding -vvvvv makes page fetches succeed.

Hi! I'm working on supporting the UpdateService over in the https://github.com/openbmc project. We're starting to use this tool for a lot of our redfish usage on our OpenBMC supported systems.

Wonder if supporting the UpdateService schema (http://redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/UpdateService.v1_4_0.json) was on the radar here?

If not, do you take pull requests for new features like that?

Is there any mockup which supports actions ?

This would solve issue #28.
You may need to change the release process a little bit, for example:

$ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel  # build packages for both tarball and wheel package
...
$ ls dist
redfishtool-1.0.5-py3-none-any.whl  redfishtool-1.0.5.tar.gz
$ twine upload dist/redfishtool-1.0.5-py3-none-any.whl dist/redfishtool-1.0.5.tar.gz  # upload for both packages

Hi,

I am seeking for a fundamental lib/tool to build my script, the Redfishtool is a wonderful one that suits me.
But I noticed the last commit is 7 months ago, the RedFish spec and Schema spec is evolving, I worry if this tool is still maintained.
Another question is: do you have plan to update the coding style to meet Python PEP 8?

Thanks,
Sea

I had installed nginx web server on a linux machine, and deployed a mockup from redfish site
http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP2043_1.1.0.zip

I can run many queries successfully with this setup, like querying for Systems and Managers (see later on the output, which is OK). However, for metadat and odata I get 404 error:

python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 metadata

python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 odata

And with verbosity of 6, this is what I get:

Any idea what can be the problem here?

As mentioned earlier, this is what I get with Systems and Managers (which seems ok)

For example
python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 Systems

We are looking to enhance redfishtool to add support for additional functions since these functions are either not supported, or require multiple commands to get this data or the output is not very user friendly.

For example:

• single option to list all sensors
• single option to list all inventory
• list error logs (enhance output format)
• Create, list, delete and extract dumps

Why is there a need for this Redfish when we already have similar technologies like REST,..etc?

Hello!
I would like to get the power consumption of my server through redfishtool but whatever the command i run, i get this error message. Before i get the following message i ran "python redfishtool.py -h".
I have no knowledge of python language. Please could you help me fix this problem?
Regards

Hi,
Could you help me sloved the redfishtool bug? It is very easy to come up error "Execution timeout" or " redfishtool: raw: Error getting response", but curl tool would not come up.
For example1 :
Execution timeout! Command [redfishtool -sssss -r [redacted IP address] -u admin -p [redacted password] -T 90 -S Always raw GET /redfish/v1/UpdateService] doesn't finish in 90sec:

redfishtool: raw: Error getting response
[root@OrcOgrim ~]# redfishtool -sssss -r [redacted IP address] -u admin -p [redacted password] -T 90 -S Always raw GET /redfish/v1/UpdateService

For example2 :
Execution timeout! Command [redfishtool -sssss -r [redacted IP address] -u admin -p [redacted password] -T 30 -S Always raw GET /redfish/v1/Chassis/Self] doesn't finish in 30sec: --- redfishtool -sssss -r [redacted IP address] -u admin -p [redacted password] -T 30 -S Always raw GET /redfish/v1/Chassis/Self ---

When parsing "key:value" from a -m/--match opt, it should read the key as the value up to the first ":", not the last one. Otherwise, you get this behavior when trying to match a MAC address:

python3 redfishtool.py ... EthernetInterfaces -m "MACAddress:08:00:69:17:A1:1B"

    if( d[rft.matchLevel2Prop] == rft.matchLevel2Value ):
KeyError: 'MACAddress:08:00:69:17:A1'

From the above stack trace, it appears that from MACAddress:08:00:69:17:A1:1B it reads "1B" as the value and all before that as the key.

I was trying to change password on HP Proliant G9 (server supporting Redfish API) because builtin functionality - AccountService is not working (another possible candidate for an issue).
I followed HP Redfish API data model and constructed raw call with JSON data {'Password': 'TEST123'} (in quotes in the shell command).
However I'm getting JSON error about NoneType when loading the string to patchData variable:

"SessionService logout" fails with "Transport: Error loading Data" if the session deletion response does not include a body. But it is valid for a redfish session deletion to have no response body. See section 6.4.4.4 in the spec:

6.4.4.4. Delete (DELETE)
The DELETE method is used to remove a resource.

• Services shall support the DELETE method for resources that can be deleted. If the resource can never be deleted, status code 405 shall be returned.
• Services may return a representation of the just deleted resource in the response body.

The redfishtool script installed in scripts directory is not directly executable from Windows CLI
Needs to have python interpreter as Windows CLI does not have direct script execution (as seen in Linux)

Indirect execution is possible, for example:
py -3 c:\python35\scripts\redfishtool

Proposed enhancement:

It could be interesting to have an option ignoring network proxy configuration. At least a simple option like the --no-proxy option of wget.

I'd love to implement it, but I am not a programmer at all :-(

ipmitool can be run locally without setting up a BMC network.
Does redfishtool have the same function?

Example>
Condition : DONOT set BMC network or if set, the BMC network cable is not connected.
[ok] ipmitool -I open sel list or ipmitool sel list
[ok] ipmitool -I lanplus -H BMC_LOCAL_IP -U USER -P PASSWORD sel list
[Failed] redfishtool -r BMC_LOCAL_IP -U USER -P PASSWORD raw GET /redfish/v1/Systems/1

It seems that setIndicatorLed does not work (I am trying with the public-catfish mockup)

When sending request data(payload), I want to send it to the file specified by using @ character like curl utility.
The request data is too long when performing BIOS setup, BIOS/BMC upgrade etc.

The documentation for redfishtool very well describes how to use it as a command line utility, but there is no information how to use modules to write code. For example, if I want to get root:

`from redfishtool.ServiceRoot import RfServiceRoot

root = RfServiceRoot.getServiceRoot ()
print (root)`

Executed with an error:
root = RfServiceRoot.getServiceRoot ()
TypeError: getServiceRoot () missing 2 required positional arguments: 'self' and 'rft'
And how can I choose a port for example.
What is rft and where to take these all abbreviations. Help please start using this module

Port over fix from Redfish-Mockup-Creator/issues/15 (fix in Redfish-Mockup-Creator/pull/18).

The tool relies on @Redfish.AllowableValues in multiple cases (System/Manager ResetType, BootSourceOverrideTarget). But Redfish also allows the equivalent to be implemented as an ActionInfo (for the Reset Actions at least). The tool should be able to use ActionInfo AllowableValues if no Redfish.AllowableValues annotation is present

If a system returns 202 to a reset action, so that the action is tracked with a task, redfishtool fails:

$ python3 redfishtool.py -S Always -r host -u user -p pass Systems -I 1 reset ForceOff
   redfishtool: Transport: processing response status codes
$ echo $?
5

Very nice tool. I am using it against a supermicro X11DPU system.

One thing I wanted to do thru redfishtool was to change a BIOS setting. First I want to see what all the Bios "attributes" are. Using Curl, I can do this with
GET //sysname/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Bios.

Using redfish tool, must I use the "raw" subcommand with the GET verb to accomplish this or is there a higher level way to do this?

Then I want to change one of those settings, let's say the setting for CoresEnabled. Using Curl, I can do this with

curl -sk -u ADMIN:ADMIN --data '{"CoresEnabled": 2}' -X PATCH https://sysname/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Bios 

Again, using redfishtool, am I required to use the "raw" subcommand with the PATCH verb to accomplish this?
I used this:

python3 redfishtool.py -A Basic -r sysname -u ADMIN -p ADMIN raw PATCH --data='{"CoresEnabled": 2}' /redfish/v1/Systems/1/Bios

On this particular system, the response to this command has a statuscode 202 with the JSON response as follows:

{
    "Success": {
        "Message": "Successfully Completed Request.",
        "code": "Base.v1_0_0.Success"
    }
}

redfishtool responds with
redfishtool: Transport: processing response status codes

I am not sure if this is an error, but it looks like one.

I can confirm that if I reset the system, the new BIOS settings do take effect. (Maybe that's the reason for the 202 response since they don't take effect immediately?)

Question: should 202 response be considered success in this context.

The tools has code to parse odata.type from an object (parseOdataType), but no command line option to lookup a resource by its type. This should be something like:

-o, . --Odata= -- find the resource with the specified @odata.type

This could be used in combinations with -1, -F, and -all
-o & -F == find the first instance of resource with that type
-0 & -1 == find the only instance of resource with that type, and error if there is more than 1
-o & -a == find all instances of the resource with that type

need to support tasks for "adduser" responses, when user is created using adduser we are not seeing any response due to that out scripts are failing.

udock redfishtool -r -u -p --Secure=Always AccountService adduser 'testuser' 'test_123' but when we check backend user is getting created without any response.

While running redfishtool i am getting No module named redfishtoollib

Is there any API in Redfish for generating X.509 certificate dynmically. If yes what is the signature of that API and how do we pass input attributes to that?

I ran several tests taken from Examples Usage section, found that the examples command lines did not mention -u and -p option, they are needed in order to make the test work.

Hi,

The Systems Processors list command is almost the same as Systems Processors, what's the purpose... shall we remove it to avoid mis-understanding?

Thanks,

• Rationale:
  IPMI systems may have a fixed set of user account slots, with the Accounts Collection populated with an account for each slot, even when many of the accounts slots may not be in use. Normally when adding an entry to a collection, a POST operation is performed. But since the account entries in an IPMI system as described already exist, they must be updated with a PATCH operation to update them with a username, password, and role. And similarly, an existing user account in a system like this would need to be updated with PATCH to effectively delete it.

  The current redfishtool supports adding accounts with POST and deleting accounts with DELETE. It would be a useful enhancement to add support for performing account add and delete using POST for IPMI systems as described.

• Logic to use PATCH to add new user:

  • Input provided: username, role, password
  • Fetch Accounts collection
  • Search collection for username
    • If found, return error “username already in use”
  • Search collection for unused slot (UserName == “”, “Enabled” == false)
    • If found, note “@odata.id” value of the account to PATCH (this will be the URI)
    • Else return error “no unused account slots available”
  • Build PATCH data for request, for example:
    {"UserName": "newUserName", "Enabled": true, "Password": "newPassword", "RoleId": "Operator"}
  • Submit PATCH including PATCH data in body to the URI, for example:
    /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Accounts/3

• Logic to use PATCH to delete existing user:

  • Input provided: username
  • Fetch Accounts collection
  • Search collection for username
    • If found, note “@odata.id” value of the account to PATCH (this will be the URI)
    • Else return error “username not found”
  • Build PATCH data for request, for example:
    {"UserName": "", "Enabled": false, "Password": null, "RoleId": "None"}
  • Submit PATCH to URI, for example:
    /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Accounts/3

• Additional considerations:

  • Need to consider/handle ETag headers

• Interface updates:
  The existing AccountService subcommand syntax would need to be updated. This could be handled in a few different ways:

  • Enhance one or more of the existing AccountService operations patch, useradmin, adduser, or deleteuser
  • Add new AccountService operations specifically for adding and deleting users via PATCH

I can work on this enhancement. I included a somewhat detailed description here in hopes of getting any feedback and advice from the community.

At the moment, it's a bit confusing how to go about grabbing information with redfishtool. For example, I can access the SEL log entries via curl, but none of the sub-arguments beyond -i SEL seem to allow me to grab the entries. A table that converts between typical ipmitool commands and redfishtool commands would be very helpful. (I do recognize that not every command is convertible, but some are.)
