Set ESKM primarykeyserver

If not created already, create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address, iLO login username and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 37: Set ESKM Primary Key Server

The method ex37_set_ESKM_PrimaryKeyServer takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ) and primary key server address and port settings as arguments.

def ex37_set_ESKM_PrimaryKeyServer(restobj, PrimaryKeyServerAddress,\
                             PrimaryKeyServerPort):

Find and get the ESKM settings URI from the systems resources collection.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("ESKM.")

For the ESKM settings, prepare the request body with the Primary key server settings we want to change and perform the PATCH request.

for instance in instances:
    body = dict()

    body["PrimaryKeyServerAddress"] = PrimaryKeyServerAddress
    body["PrimaryKeyServerPort"] = int(PrimaryKeyServerPort)

    response = restobj.rest_patch(instance["href"], body)
    restobj.error_handler(response)

A successful PATCH response will set the primary key server settings to the new values provided in ESKM settings, however the changes will go into effect only after a system reset or reboot.
