Uploading SPP

[BradV]

Trying to upload the latest SPP to OneView using the REST API: 

ISO=spp-2019.03.0-SPP2019030.2019_0206.85.iso
curl --insecure \
     --max-time 1200 \
     --header "accept: application/json" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --header "uploadfilename:${ISO}" \
     --form "file=\"@/var/tmp/${ISO}\"" \
     --request POST ${OneView}/rest/firmware-bundles | jq -r '.'

It is failing and I'm getting back: 

{
  "data": {},
  "nestedErrors": [],
  "erroSource": null,
  "recommendedActions": [],
  "details": null,
  "message": "Parsed multipart servlet request file is empty; nested exception is com.hp.ci.mgmt.fwdrivers.exceptions.FileUploadException: Emtpy file was found in the request.",
  "errorCode": null
}

Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?  I don't have any scopes defined.  So, did not include the scopeuri header.

The form attribute name is called filename, not file.

Hi Chris,

Then the REST API reference needs updated.  At least my version shows: '-F file="@/var/tmp/.."  I did change to filename instead of file, but got back the same error.  I tried including the initialScopeUris header as just blank thinking maybe that was required, but still same error.  I do see the words, "a form with the Content-Type multipart/form-data and submit action as https://{app1}/rest/firmware-bundles."  So, I added: 

--header "content-type: multipart/form-data" \

to the call, but still did not work.  None of the examples show that option however.

This is straight from the REST API Documentation for POST /rest/firmware-bundles:

And sorry, the form attribute you have is correct.  I was looking at another part of my code for the PowerShell library, which does the exact same thing you are trying to do, and has not changed in a long time.

[BradV]

Hi Chris,

Yes, that is exactly what I saw.  In the examples, they don't show an api version header, nor do they show anything about a content-type header.  In the last bullet above that section, it talks about a content-type multipart/form-data.  So, should that header also be included?  I used the long form of switches.  -m is the same as --max-time.  -k is the same as --insecure.  -X is the same as --request.  -H is the same as --header.  -F is the same as --form.  I also don't have any scopes defined.  Is the header intialscopeuris mandatory, or optional?  Are you sure the form parameter for the file name is "file?"  Just want to make sure it's not something like that.

[BradV]

Also, I don't see in the api reference firmware bundles section anything about retrieving a list of currently uploaded bundles nor deleting a currently uploaded bundle.  Are those functions available, but just not documented?

Finally got back to this and got it working.  I had to many quotes in the form line.  This code is working: 

# Upload SPP:
DIR=/var/tmp
ISO=spp-2019.03.0-SPP2019030.2019_0206.85.iso
curl --insecure \
     --max-time 1200 \
     --header "accept: application/json" \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --header "content-type: multipart/form-data" \
     --header "uploadfilename:${ISO}" \
     --form file="@${DIR}/${ISO}" \
     --request POST ${OneView}/rest/firmware-bundles | jq -r '.'

So, now just need to see if there is an API for getting the current list of uploaded bundles and how to delete an uploaded bundle.  I don't see those in the API reference.

GET /rest/firmware-drivers and DELETE /rest/firmware-drivers/{GUID} are the two API's that are documented to perform the operations you want to do.

Hi Chris,

Thanks!  I see it was the next group in the API reference.    I got the status with: 

# To check existing firmware bundles, run:
curl --insecure \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --output firmware \
     --request GET ${OneView}/rest/firmware-drivers
#
# Then to see a summary of the information, run:
cat firmware | jq '.members[] | {baselineShortName,bundleType,hpsumVersion,isoFileName,releaseDate,resourceState,status,type,uri,uuid,version}'

To delete, I should use the value returned with 'uri,' correct?  For example, 

URI=/rest/firmware-drivers/SPP_Gen9_10_11
curl --insecure \
     --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \
     --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \
     --header "content-type: application/json" \
     --include \
     --request DELETE ${OneView}${URI}

Does that look correct?

[ChrisLynch]

Correct.
