Configuring admin users on iLO Gen10
abdrabo opened this issue · 3 comments
At the moment we are using json/user_info endpoint to configure the users on HP servers. Gen10 has a super set of Gen8/9 privileges and seems I can't manage the extra privileges via json/user_info.
GET /json/user_info
{
"min_password": 8,
"users": [
{
"config_priv": 1,
"id": 1,
"login_name": "Administrator",
"login_priv": 1,
"remote_cons_priv": 1,
"reset_priv": 1,
"user_name": "Administrator",
"user_priv": 1,
"virtual_media_priv": 1
},
...
But we can see on the UI the more privileges (iLO5 2.3/ProLiant BL460c Gen10):
I need the Host BIOS
privilege to be able to do some firmware upgrades. I think I will have to reimplement the user configuration for iLO using Redfish as explained in the docs.
@abdrabo we've been considering adding Redfish support through - https://github.com/stmcginnis/gofish
so feel free to roll ahead with this, if not, I'll get round to it,
The approach I suggest here is,
-
Wrap gofish as a another helper within
https://github.com/bmc-toolbox/bmclib/tree/master/internal/redfish
the same way as,
https://github.com/bmc-toolbox/bmclib/tree/master/internal/httpclient -
Include it as a property in the HP ILO provider
bmclib/providers/hp/ilo/ilo.go

Thanks @joelrebel for your comment!
I am busy with few things at the moment. I will comment here when I start working on it. If you have time and willing to do it, please go ahead.
