Description:

The RESTful Interface Tool (iLOrest) is a command-line interface that allows you to manage Hewlett Packard Enterprise products that take advantage of RESTful APIs.
You can manage HPE Gen9 servers running iLO 4 2.10 or later through iLO RESTful APIs. You can install the tool on your computer for remote use or you can
install the tool locally on a server with a Windows, Linux, Debian, Mac, or VMware OS. In addition to using the tool manually to execute individual commands,
you can create scripts to automate tasks.

Usage:

The RESTful Interface Tool has three modes of operation. Interactive, Scriptable, and File-based mode.

  1. Interactive mode is started when you run the RESTful Interface Tool without any command-line parameters.
     The ilorest > prompt is displayed and you can enter commands one at a time. You can exit the interactive mode by entering the exit command at the prompt.
     You must be an administrator to run ilorest.
  2. Scriptable mode is using iLOrest from the commmand line to run individual commands or using a script file to run multiple in succession.
     ilorest [Global flags] [Command] <optional command arguments> <optional command options>
     Example: ilorest login
              ilorest select Bios.
              ilorest set AdminName=NewName --commit
              ilorest logout
  3. File based mode uses the save command to output a json file for outside modification similar to conrep, then loaded back onto the server using the load command.
