Microsoft.PowerShell.ODataUtils Module

Microsoft.PowerShell.ODataUtils module generates CDXML modules that contain cmdlets to manage OData and Redfish endpoints.

Master

Building

1. Ensure that .NET Command Line Interface tools are installed.
2. Run build.ps1
3. Successfull build will generate Microsoft.PowerShell.ODataUtils module folder that can be copied to a target PowerShell deployment.

Examples

Using Redfish server from PowerShell Core

Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.ODataUtils -Force
# generate CDXML module based on metadata of Redfish server
Export-ODataEndpointProxy -Uri 'https://<redfishserver>/redfish/v1/' -OutputModule '/home/test/RedfishModule' -Force -CmdletAdapter ODataV4Adapter -AllowUnsecureConnection -SkipCertificateCheck
Import-Module '/home/test/RedfishModule' -Force
$c = Get-Credential # credentials for server
# manage server using Redfish - retrieve ComputerSystems on the server
Get-ServiceRoot -SkipCertificateCheck | Get-ComputerSystemCollection -Credential $c -SkipCertificateCheck | Get-ComputerSystem -Credential $c -SkipCertificateCheck

Using Redfish server from Windows PowerShell

Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.ODataUtils -Force
# some preparation work for connection to a Redfish endpoint
# enable TLS v1.1 as required by Redfish spec
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11
# allow self-signed server certificates
if ([System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy.GetType().Name -ne 'TrustAllCertsPolicy')
{
    Add-Type 'using System.Net;using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;public class TrustAllCertsPolicy:ICertificatePolicy {public bool CheckValidationResult(ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {return true;}}'
    [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
}
# Generate CDXML module based on endpoint metadata
Export-ODataEndpointProxy -Uri https://<redfishserver>/redfish/v1/ -OutputModule C:\Temp\RedfishTest -Force -CmdletAdapter ODataV4Adapter -AllowUnsecureConnection
$c = Get-Credential # credentials for server
Import-Module C:\Temp\RedfishTest –Force
# manage server using Redfish
# example 1 - retrieve ComputerSystems on the server
$r = Get-ServiceRoot
$cc = Get-ComputerSystemCollection -ServiceRoot $r -Credential $c
$cs = Get-ComputerSystem -ComputerSystemCollection $cc -Credential $c
$cs
# example 2 - retrieve Chassis on the server
Get-ServiceRoot | Get-ChassisCollection -Credential $c | Get-Chassis -Credential $c
