Set iLO time zone - HewlettPackard/python-ilorest-library GitHub Wiki

If not created already, create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address, iLO login username and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

The method ex28_set_ilo_timezone takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ) and expected time zone as arguments. The method only works if iLO is not configured to take the time settings from DHCP v4 or v6.

def ex28_set_ilo_timezone(restobj, olson_timezone):

Find and get the system resource for iLO date time.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("HpiLODateTime.")

Send HTTP GET request to iLO date time URI.

for instance in instances:
   response = restobj.rest_get(instance["href"])

Find the time zone requested and prepare the request body.

for timezone in response.dict["TimeZoneList"]:
   if timezone["Name"].startswith(olson_timezone):
      body = {"TimeZone": {"Index": timezone["Index"]}}

Perform PATCH request to update iLO time zone.

response = restobj.rest_patch(instance["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)
