Redfish is the new RESTful API for hardware management defined by the DMTF Scalable Platform Management Forum (SPMF). It provides a modern, secure, multi-node, extendable interface for doing hardware management. The initial release included hardware inventory, server power-on/off/reset, reading power draw, setting power limits, reading sensors such as fans, read/write of ID LEDs, asset tags, and went beyond IPMI in functionality to include inventory of processors, storage, Ethernet controllers, and total memory. New Redfish extensions have now been added to the spec and include firmware update, BIOS config, memory inventory, direct attached storage control, and the list grows. . redfishtool makes it simple to use the Redfish API from a BASH script or interactively from a client command shell. . While other generic HTTP clients such as Linux curl can send and receive Redfish requests, redfishtool goes well beyond these generic HTTP clients by automatically handling many of the hypermedia and Redfish-specific protocol aspects of the Redfish API that require a client to often execute multiple queries to a redfish service to walk the hypermedia links from the redfish root down to the detailed URI of a specific resource (eg Processor-2 of Blade-4 in a computer blade system). Specifically, redfishtool provides the following functions over curl: . * implements Redfish Session Authentication as well as HTTP Basic Auth * walks the Redfish schema following strict interoperpbility processors...] to find the targeted instance based on Id, UUID, URL or other attributes * handles GETs for collections that are returned in multiple pieces-requiring client to read in a loop until the full collection is returned * handles ETag and If-Match headers when PATCHing a resource to write properties * implements many common set or action operations with simple commandline syntax (eg server reset, setting LEDs, assetTag, powerLimits, etc) * negotiates the latest redfish protocol version between client and service (demonstrating the proper way to do this) * can read specific properties of a resource, or expand collections to include all members of the collection expanded * supports adding and deleting users, and common Redfish account service operations * For debug, provides multiple levels of verbose output to add descriptive headers, and show what HTTP requests are being executed * For debug, includes multiple levels of status display showing HTTP status codes and headers returned and sent * For easy parsing, outputs all responses in JSON format unless verbose or status debug options were specified
