Adapting from iLO 5

This section is a guide to help Redfish client code adapt from the iLO 5 RESTful API to the iLO 6 RESTful API.

NOTES

The DCi acronym mentioned below, refers to the HPE proprietary Discovery and Configuration via iLO protocol used between internal server devices and iLO.
The RDE acronym mentioned below, refers to the DMTF's Platform Level Data Model for Redfish Device Enablement (PLDM for RDE) specification .
DCi and RDE acronyms refer to the protocol through which adapters Redfish data is supplied to Redfish clients. Refer to the Controllers[{item}].UnderlyingDataSource resource definition for more information.
Refer to the RDE section for information on how to identify URIs of such devices.

Introduction

The iLO 6 RESTful API is fully conformant with the Redfish® protocol and data model mentioned in the Changelog file. Any remaining support for the pre-Redfish iLO RESTful API has been removed and is replaced by the Redfish equivalents. HPE continues to extend the Redfish data model (Oem.Hpe extensions) to enable value for the customer.

Refer to the Conformance section for more detail on this subject.

Deprecated for iLO 6

BaseNetworkAdapters deprecated

From iLO 6 v1.10 onwards, the HpeBaseNetworkAdapterCollection URI (/redfish/v1/Systems/1/BaseNetworkAdapters) and underlying resources are deprecated. The corresponding properties are moved to the standard NetworkAdapterCollection URI (/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters).

Prior to iLO 6, the NetworkAdapterCollection URI used to list only DCi and RDE NICs.

For iLO 6, the NetworkAdapterCollection URI lists all types of Network Interface Cards (NICs) including DCi, RDE, and Non-RDE/Non-DCi (i.e. Base Network Adapters).

In iLO 6, most of the deprecated HpeBaseNetworkAdapter properties are part of the DMTF's NetworkAdapter schema, and a few properties are Oem/Hpe properties under Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters.

In iLO 6, Base Network Adapters have URIs of the form Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/DA******.

DMTF's Network Adapters Properties/Actions are not supported for Base Network Adapters:

All write support (POST/PATCH) including ResetSettingsToDefault , FlushConfigurationToNVM , are not supported.
Links to NetworkDeviceFunctions , NetworkPorts , and Ports are not supported as Oem.Hpe.PhysicalPorts[] and Oem.Hpe.FcPorts[] list the port details.

NetworkPorts deprecated

From iLO 6 v1.10 onwards, the NetworkPortCollection URI and underlying resources are deprecated. The corresponding properties are moved to the standard PortCollection URI. The DMTF Redfish standard specification has deprecated the NetworkPort schema with the implementation of Port.

Deprecated NetworkPorts URIs:

/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/1/NetworkPorts
/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/1/NetworkPorts/1
/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/1/NetworkPorts/1/HpeEVB

HPE Smart Storage Model (OEM) deprecated

HPE initially developed the SmartStorage Redfish OEM data model for HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen 8 server. This model supported inventory (GET) and monitoring (Events) features. In HPE ProLiant Gen 10, the SmartStorageConfig resource was added to support configuration. This OEM model used a proprietary API that only supports the SR line of storage controllers. This OEM storage model is removed starting with iLO 6 / HPE ProLiant Gen 11 servers.

Customers are encouraged to use the open standard DMTF Redfish Storage Model.

The following OEM specific SmartStorageConfig and SmartStorage resources are removed in iLO 6/Gen 11:

HpeSmartStorage
HpeSmartStorageArrayController
HpeSmartStorageDiskDrive
HpeSmartStorageLogicalDrive
HpeSmartStorageStorageEnclosure
HpeSmartStorageHostBusAdapter
