getting firmware with a filter

BradV — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 12:26:43 GMT

I can retrieve the entire firmware list with the REST API, but wanted to try to apply some filters. That is not working. I'm getting back:

400 Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Additionaly, a 400 Bad Reqest error was encountered while trying ot use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm following the document API reference. Here are two attempts (Note: currentVersion is set to 1200; sessionID is set to my current session ID; and OneView is set to https://server.fqdn

Retrieve firmware for DL380 Gen10s:

MODEL="ProLiant DL380 Gen10" curl --insecure \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/*/firmware?filter=serverModel="${MODEL}"

Retrieve BIOS firmware information:

BIOS="System ROM" curl --insecure \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/*/firmware?filter=components.componentName="${BIOS}"

I then want to combine those to just get the BIOS version for DL380s, for example. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?

I don't think the Filter option works here. You will find that in the Common Parameters section of the API documentation states that not all endpoints implement either Filter, Query or UserQuery. I'll dig into this a bit more and reply back to the thread.

Hi Chris,

The documentation seems to imply that it does? We are running version 5.30. In the API Reference -> Servers -> Server Hardware -> GET /rest/server-hardware/*/firmware the first example shows using filters. Am I miss-reading it, or is there an error in the documentation?

Hi Chris,

Did you ever find an answer to this? I get back:

400 Bad Request Your browser sent a request that tis server could not understand. Additionally, a 400 Bad Request error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

but the 5.3 REST API documentation specifically states that one should be able to filter based on serverModel.

I had no issues using the URI. This is NOT a URL that you can access from a web browser. It is a REST API URI.
