Introduction

  • This documents contains preparation on the OS to make redfish runs from the OS command line console.
  • One sample python script is provided, with sample output.
  • As of this writing, only Red Hat 6.x is supported (tested)
  • This document only covers additional steps needed to make redfish run on the OS. It does not cover OS installation instructions.

Installation of Chrome Browser

  • Not actually vital but useful for when you have to do individual manual test, launching RESTful API commands, etc
  • Installation must be done as root
[root@localhost ~]# cd Downloads/
[root@localhost Downloads]# wget http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/install_chrome.sh

Installation of Python 2.7

  • Next, you will need to install Python 2.7, since Red Hat default Python version is 2.6
  • Warning: Red Hat OS depends on Python version 2.6, therefore, Python version 2.7 must coexist, and you are not allowed to replace version 2.6
