python-ibmcclient

python-ibmcclient is a Python library to communicate with HUAWEI iBMC based systems.

The goal of the library is to be extremely simple, small, have as few dependencies as possible and be very conservative when dealing with BMCs by access HTTP REST API provided by HUAWEI iBMC based systems.

Currently, the scope of the library has been limited to supporting OpenStack Ironic ibmc driver

Requirements

Python 2.7 and 3.4+

Installation

From PyPi:

$ pip install python-ibmcclient

or

$ easy_install python-ibmcclient

Or from source:

$ python setup.py install

Getting Started

Please follow the Installation and then run the following:

from __future__ import print_function
from pprint import pprint

import ibmc_client
from ibmc_client import constants

# ibmc server
address = "https://example.ibmc.com"
# credential
username = "username"
password = "password"
# disable certification verify
verify = False

with ibmc_client.connect(address, username, password, verify) as client:
    # get system
    system = client.system.get()
    print('Power State: ')
    pprint(system.power_state)

    print('Boot Sequence: ')
    pprint(system.boot_sequence)

    print('Boot Source Override:' )
    pprint(system.boot_source_override)

    # reset system
    client.system.reset(constants.RESET_FORCE_RESTART)

    # set boot source override
    client.system.set_boot_source(constants.BOOT_SOURCE_TARGET_PXE,
                                  constants.BOOT_SOURCE_MODE_BIOS,
                                  constants.BOOT_SOURCE_ENABLED_ONCE)
