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_OFFandREBOOT.
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 toFalse.
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 toFalse.
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 toFalse.
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 toDCIM_ComputerSystem.cim_system_name: name of the scoping system. Defaults toDCIM:ComputerSystem.reboot: indicates whether a RebootJob should also be created or not. Defaults toFalse.
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.
