HEP 360 Gen 10 Bios Setting through redfish api

AKhanEric — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 06:21:43 GMT

Hi All,

I need help regarding bios changes in the HPE Gen10 server, previously we used to have different vendor servers for that we used redfish API to update bios using the following options now I want to make similar changes in the HP server through redfish but don't know how to use the redfish API command for HP and relate the following changes in the bios as these are from the different servers.

You need to first Install ILORESTful Tool and login to the ILO REST.

Navigate to RESTFUL API TOOL installation folder on your computer from command prompt, use ilorest command to use the ILOREST.

Syntax: login -url <ILO IP> -u <ILO UserName> -p <ILO Password>
