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 ex31_set_license_key takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ) and iLO key as arguments.

def ex31_set_license_key(restobj, iLO_Key):

:

Find and get the system resource for manager.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("Manager.")

:

Send HTTP GET request to manager URI(s).

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

:

Prepare the request body with iLO license key provided.

body = dict()
body["LicenseKey"] = iLO_Key

:

Perform POST request and check response.

response = restobj.rest_post(rsp.dict["Oem"]["Hp"]["links"]
                             ["LicenseService"]["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)
