REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

The method ex19_reset_ilo takes an instance of rest object( or redfish object if using Redfish API) as argument.

def ex19_reset_ilo(restobj):
