Revert to default BIOS setting

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 6: Revert to default BIOS setting

The method ex6_bios_revert_default takes an instance of rest object (or redfish object if using redfish API) as parameter.

def ex6_bios_revert_default(restobj):

Find and get the BIOS settings URI(s) from the systems resources collection.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("Bios.")

Next the HTTP request body is set with default configuration.

for instance in instances:
    body = {"BaseConfig": "default"}

PUT request is performed next and response error is handled if any.

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

A successful PUT response implies that BIOS is set to default settings, however the changes will get affected only after a system reset or reboot.
