Delete server hard via REST API?

BradV — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 13:49:37 GMT

I'm trying to figure out how to remove a server from OpenView through the REST API. I see POST https://{appl}/rest/server-hardware for adding a server, but don't see anything specific to deleting a server. Does anyone know the correct call for that?

You would use DELETE /rest/server-hardware/{UUID}. This is documented in our REST API documentation. You could also use our language bindings or scripting SDK's like PowerShell or Python, which include options or examples to remove resources like server hardware.

Hi Chris,

I am logged into our OpenView and pulled up the REST API reference. Looking at the Server Hardware page, I see GET, PUT, PATCH, and POST, but there is no DELETE documented. My systems are all Linux. So, using curl and the REST API, not powershell. I'll do a GET /rest/server-hardware to get a current listing. Then, I'll try the DELETE /rest/server-hardware/{UUID} and see how that works? Might need an engineering change request to update the documentation. :)

Regards,

Brad

Can report that this worked:

UUID=3738638-3330-5536-4F38-323836433D33
DELURI=$(curl --insecure \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --request DELETE ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/${UUID} | jq -r ".uri")
curl --insecure \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --request GET ${OneView}${DELURI} | jq -r '.'

Thanks Chris. Please make sure they update the REST API reference! :)

Regards,

HI Chris,

I just checked in the vs 1200 API reference and I still can't find this documented. Also, the deletion command is working, but I'm not getting any return. No deletion task uri or anything.

The task URI will be in the HTTP headers of the responce. As I have stated in other threads, you need to look at the HTTP response code from the cURL call. If it is HTTP 202, then you need to look for the Location HTTP header, which will contain the task URI.

Also, as for the REST API reference documentation, I am looking into it.

Sorry, was floating in the Caribbean.

I think I got it worked out. To delete:

# To delete a server UUID=3738638-3330-5536-4F38-323836433D33 declare -a RESPONS RESPONS=($(curl --insecure \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --include \ --request DELETE ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/${UUID} | grep -E '^HTTP|^Location')) if [[ ${RESPONS[1]} -eq 202 ]]; then # Accepted DELURI=${RESPONS[4]} # Check the deletion task status: curl --insecure \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --request GET ${OneView}${DELURI} | jq -r '.' else echo rejected fi unset RESPONS

To add:

# To add a server: SERVER="my-hostname-ilo.my.org" declare -a RESPONS RESPONS=($(curl --insecure \ --"content-type: application/json" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --include \ --data "{ \"hostname\": \"${SERVER}\", \"username\": \"Administrator\", \"password\": \"${PASSW}\", \"force\": false, \"licensingIntent\": \"OneView\", \"configurationState\": \"Managed\", \"initialScopeUris\": []}' \ --request POST ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware | grep -E '^HTTP|^Location')) if [[ ${RESPONS[1]} -eq 202 ]]; then # Accepted ADDURI=${RESPONS[4]} # Check the addition task status: curl --insecure \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --request GET ${OneView}${ADDURI} | jq -r '.' else echo rejected fi unset RESPONS

This seems to be working. Thanks!
