RetriesExhaustedError on connecting to HPE iLO 5 through Python iLO REST client












1















Following is a Python based RESTful library client (recommended by HP https://developer.hpe.com/platform/ilo-restful-api/home) that uses Redfish REST API (https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-ilorest-library) to connect to the remote HPE iLO5 server of ProLiant DL360 Gen10 based hardware



#! /usr/bin/python
import redfish

iLO_host = "https://xx.xx.xx.xx"
username = "admin"
password = "xxxxxx"

# Create a REST object
REST_OBJ = redfish.redfish_client(base_url=iLO_host,username=username, password=password, default_prefix='/redfish/v1')

# Login into the server and create a session
REST_OBJ.login(auth="session")

# HTTP GET request
response = REST_OBJ.get("/redfish/v1/systems/1", None)

print response

REST_OBJ.logout()


I am getting RetriesExhaustedError when creating REST object. However, I can successfully do SSH to the server from the VM (RHEL7.4) where I am running this script. The authentication details are given correctly. I verified that the Web Server is enabled (both port 443 and 80) in the iLO Security - Access settings. Also, in my VM box the Firewalld service has been stopped and IPTables is flushed. But still connection could not be established. What other possibilities I can try yet?

          I found the root cause. The issue is with SSL Certificate verification being done by the Python code.
          This can be turned off by setting the environment variable PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY=0 before running the code solved the problem.
