REST API for uploading new OneView update?

BradV — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 15:20:28 GMT

I haven't found in the API reference yet, so asking here. Is there a REST API command to upload a new version of the OneView software (the .bin file) to a current appliance?

Hi Brad,

Please refer to below API reference guide.

Thanks! Not sure how I missed it? I was searching all over. :)

I gave it try using:

UPD=/hp/oneview/HPE_OneView_4.10.04_update_Z7550-96558.bin
curl --insecure \
     --header "content-type: application/json" \
     --header "accept: application/json" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --form "file=@${UPD}" \
     --request POST ${OneView}/rest/appliance/firmware/image | jq -r '.'

After about a minute, it fails with:

{
  "message": "Internal Server Error",
  "details": There was a problem while processing the request.  The request might not have completed with the required timeout, or another error might have occurred.",
  "recommendedActions": [
    "Resend the request.  If the error persists, create a support dump and contact your authorized support representative."
   ],
  "data": {},
  "errorCode": "GENERIC_HTTP_500",
  "nestedErrors": [],
  "errorSource": null
}

I tried again and got the same reply. Is there some way to tell it to allow more time for the upload?

I request you to raise a support ticket with HPE.

My fault. I had not read the API fully and completely. I missed adding '--globoff' and changing the content-type to 'multipart/form-data.' Once I did that, the file uploaded correctly using

UPD=/hp/oneview/HPE_OneView_4.10.04_update_Z7550-96558.bin
curl --insecure --globoff \
--header "content-type: multipart/form-data" \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
--header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
--form "file=@${UPD}" \
--request POST ${OneView}/rest/appliance/firmware/image | jq -r '.'

Once, I had that, I was able to tell it to go ahead and apply the firmware update. :)
