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

[root@localhost Downloads]# chmod +x install_chrome.sh 
[root@localhost Downloads]# ./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
[root@localhost Downloads]# yum groupinstall "development tools" -y
[root@localhost Downloads]# mkdir tmp
[root@localhost Downloads]# cd tmp
[root@localhost tmp]# wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz
[root@localhost tmp]# tar zxvf Python-2.7.3.tgz
[root@localhost tmp]# cd Python-2.7.3
[root@localhost Python-2.7.3]# ./configure --prefix=/opt/python2.7 --enable-shared
[root@localhost Python-2.7.3]# make
[root@localhost Python-2.7.3]# make altinstall
[root@localhost Python-2.7.3]# echo "/opt/python2.7/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opt-python2.7.conf
[root@localhost Python-2.7.3]# ldconfig
