SetBiosPassword about python-ilorest-library

[Yergidy]

Can I have some information on what you're doing and what error you're receiving?

On the G9 I receive a message to the affect of I need to be >2.5, test machine is 2.61. The g10 runs successfully, however, no password appears to be set.

[Yergidy]

Is this with the iLOrest tool or with the python-library? Can I have the exact message? It will help us pin-point exactly what you're running into.

If running with the iLOrest tool can I have your exact commands?

I am not in my office. That will need to wait until tomorrow, however, these errors are for both generations on the python-lib. FYI I am following the setbiospassword example. I can script out the changing of passwords using bash on a g10. I have not been able to do so on a g9. Perhaps I am stupid <= strong possibility

I tried on two of our test machines and cannot get the BIOS password to set.

I will keep at it, suggestions, or a pointer in a direction would be great! Thanks!

For Gen9:
Our bios did not conform to the redfish standard until Gen10. As a consequence, there is no Bios. type when redfish is forced in Gen9.
Run the rest version of the set_bios_password.py example in Gen9 instead.

For Gen10:
This has changed from a patch property to a post action. We need to update our redfish example to reflect this.
See the iLO Rest API documentation on the Action required:

The iLO version on the G9 displays 2.61. Is this not the version I should be concerned with?

[Yergidy]

I have updated my previous comment with more information on Gen9 Bios and the method to set the bios password or a Gen10 system if you need it before we update the example.

Is there, or will there be, an upgrade that will conform Gen9 to the chosen standard?

[Yergidy]

No. The Gen9 method will not change.

Version 2.4.2 has been released which solves this issue. It should be updated in pip shortly.

If there are no further questions, may we consider this issue as resolved?
