Client API

Power management

get_power_state

Returns the current power state of the node.

set_power_state

Turns the server power on/off or do a reboot.

Required parameters:

• target_state: target power state. Valid options are: POWER_ON, POWER_OFF and REBOOT.

Boot management

list_boot_modes

Returns the list of boot modes.

list_boot_devices

Returns the list of boot devices.

change_boot_device_order

Changes the boot device sequence for a boot mode.

Required parameters:

• boot_mode: boot mode for which the boot device list is to be changed.
• boot_device_list: a list of boot device ids in an order representing the desired boot sequence.

BIOS configuration

list_bios_settings

Lists the BIOS configuration settings.

set_bios_settings

Sets the BIOS configuration. To be more precise, it sets the pending_value parameter for each of the attributes passed in. It returns a dictionary containing the commit_needed key with a boolean value indicating whether a config job must be created for the values to be applied.

Required parameters:

• settings: a dictionary containing the proposed values, with each key being the name of attribute and the value being the proposed value.

commit_pending_bios_changes

Applies all pending changes on the BIOS by creating a config job and returns the id of the created job.

Optional parameters:

• reboot: indicates whether a RebootJob should also be created or not. Defaults to False.

abandon_pending_bios_changes

Deletes all pending changes on the BIOS.

Note

Once a config job has been submitted, it can no longer be abandoned.

RAID management

list_raid_controllers

Returns the list of RAID controllers.

list_virtual_disks

Returns the list of RAID arrays.

list_physical_disks

Returns the list of physical disks.

create_virtual_disk

Creates a virtual disk and returns a dictionary containing the commit_needed key with a boolean value indicating whether a config job must be created for the values to be applied.

Note

The created virtual disk will be in pending state.

Required parameters:

• raid_controller: id of the RAID controller.
• physical_disks: ids of the physical disks.
• raid_level: RAID level of the virtual disk.
• size_mb: size of the virtual disk in megabytes.

Optional parameters:

• disk_name: name of the virtual disk.
• span_length: number of disks per span.
• span_depth: number of spans in virtual disk.

delete_virtual_disk

Deletes a virtual disk and returns a dictionary containing the commit_needed key with a boolean value indicating whether a config job must be created for the values to be applied.

Note

The deleted virtual disk will be in pending state. For the changes to be applied, a config job must be created and the node must be rebooted.

Required parameters:

• virtual_disk: id of the virtual disk.

commit_pending_raid_changes

Applies all pending changes on a RAID controller by creating a config job and returns the id of the created job.

Required parameters:

• raid_controller: id of the RAID controller.

Optional parameters:

• reboot: indicates whether a RebootJob should also be created or not. Defaults to False.

abandon_pending_raid_changes

Deletes all pending changes on a RAID controller.

Note

Once a config job has been submitted, it can no longer be abandoned.

Required parameters:

• raid_controller: id of the RAID controller.

Inventory Management

list_cpus

Returns a list of installed CPUs.

list_memory

Returns a list of installed memory modules.

list_nics

Returns a list of NICs.

Job management

list_jobs

Returns a list of jobs from the job queue.

Optional parameters:

• only_unfinished: indicates whether only unfinished jobs should be returned. Defaults to False.

get_job

Returns a job from the job queue.

Required parameters:

• job_id: id of the job.

create_config_job

Creates a config job and returns the id of the created job.

Note

In CIM (Common Information Model), weak association is used to name an instance of one class in the context of an instance of another class. SystemName and SystemCreationClassName are the attributes of the scoping system, while Name and CreationClassName are the attributes of the instance of the class, on which the CreateTargetedConfigJob method is invoked.

Required parameters:

• resource_uri: URI of resource to invoke.
• cim_creation_class_name: creation class name of the CIM object.
• cim_name: name of the CIM object.
• target: target device.

Optional parameters:

• cim_system_creation_class_name: creation class name of the scoping system. Defaults to DCIM_ComputerSystem.
• cim_system_name: name of the scoping system. Defaults to DCIM:ComputerSystem.
• reboot: indicates whether a RebootJob should also be created or not. Defaults to False.

delete_pending_config

Cancels pending configuration.

Note

Once a config job has been submitted, it can no longer be abandoned.

Lifecycle controller management

get_lifecycle_controller_version

Returns the Lifecycle controller version as a tuple of integers.
