2. Notes about Examples in This Guide
The examples in this guide assume that a Redfish-enabled system is available. Many of these examples use curl
, a common Linux utility that is also available for Windows, with specific options to send Redfish requests from the command line. These examples also pipe the curl
output into the Python json.tool
to validate and pretty-print JSON responses. Postman is an alternative tool for performing the same operations. The Redfish Mockup Server is available for development purposes when a Redfish-enabled system is not available.
The examples in this guide use these parameters for many operations:
<REDFISH-HOST>
: Server name or IP address of the Redfish-enabled system.<USERNAME>
: Username for the Redfish account.<PASSWORD>
: Password for the Redfish account.<SESSION-ID>
: ID of your session.<SESSION-TOKEN>
: Session token that you use on all subsequent requests includingDELETE
.
