Introduction

HPE OneView makes it simple to deploy and manage today’s complex hybrid cloud infrastructure. HPE OneView can help you transform your data center to software-defined, and it supports HPE’s broad portfolio of servers, storage, and networking solutions, ensuring the simple and automated management of your hybrid infrastructure. Software-defined intelligence enables a template-driven approach for deploying, provisioning, updating, and integrating compute, storage, and networking infrastructure.

The HPE OneView Python library provides a pure Python interface to the HPE OneView REST APIs. It depends on the Python-Future library to provide Python 2/3 compatibility.

Getting Started

HPE OneView SDK for Python can be installed from Source,Pypi and Docker container installation methods.

From Source

$ git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-python.git
$ cd oneview-python 

$ python setup.py install --user  # to install in the user directory (~/.local)

$ sudo python setup.py install    # to install globally

Or using PIP:

$ git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-python.git 
$ cd oneview-python 

$ pip install . 

From Pypi

$ git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-python.git
$ cd oneview-python 

$ pip install hpeOneView 

From Docker Image / Container

Clone this repo and cd into it:

$ git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-python.git
$ cd oneview-python

Build the docker image:

$ docker build -t oneview-python . 

Now you can run any of the example in this directory: Run the container, passing in your credentials to OneView and specifying which example recipe to run.
-v: The volume on which repo code is mounted
Replace connection_templates with the name of the example you'd like to run
Replace pwd with the path of the example file you'd like to run.

$ docker run -it --rm \ -v $(pwd)/:/root/oneview/ python examples/connection_templates.py

Running Examples with published docker image

We also provide a lightweight and easy way to test and run oneview-python. The hewlettpackardenterprise/hpe-oneview-sdk-for-python: docker image contains an installation of oneview-python installation you can use by just pulling down the Docker Image:

The Docker Store image tag consist of two sections: <sdk_version-OV_version>

Download and store a local copy of hpe-oneview-sdk-for-python and use it as a Docker image.

$ docker pull hewlettpackardenterprise/hpe-oneview-sdk-for-python:v6.5.0-OV6.5

Run docker commands and this will in turn create sh session where you can create files, issue commands and execute the tests

$ docker run -it hewlettpackardenterprise/hpe-oneview-sdk-for-python:v6.5.0-OV6.5 /bin/sh

Configuration

JSON:

Connection properties for accessing the OneView appliance can be set in a JSON file. Before running the samples or your own scripts, you must create the JSON file. An example can be found at: OneView configuration sample.

Note: If you have an active and valid login session and want to use it, define the sessionID in the Credentials. When sessionID is defined, you can remove username and password from your JSON (they will be disregarded anyway).

Once you have created the JSON file, you can initialize the OneViewClient:

oneview_client = OneViewClient.from_json_file('/path/config.json')

🔒 Tip: Check the file permissions because the password is stored in clear-text.

Environment Variables:

Configuration can also be defined through environment variables:

Required

export ONEVIEWSDK_IP='172.16.102.82'
export ONEVIEWSDK_USERNAME='Administrator'
export ONEVIEWSDK_PASSWORD='secret123'

Or sessionID

 export ONEVIEWSDK_SESSIONID='123'

Once you have defined the environment variables, you can initialize the OneViewClient using the following code snippet:

 oneview_client = OneViewClient.from_environment_variables()

🔒 Tip: Make sure no unauthorized person has access to the environment variables, since the password is stored in clear-text.

Note: If you have an active and valid login session and want to use it, define the ONEVIEWSDK_SESSIONID. When a sessionID is defined, it will be used for authentication (username and password will be ignored in this case).

Dictionary:

# You can also set the configuration using a dictionary. As described above, for authentication you can use username/password: <br />
config = { 
  "ip": "172.16.102.82", 
  "credentials": { 
      "userName": "Administrator",
      "password": "secret123"
  }
}

#Or if you have an active and valid login session and want to use it, define the sessionID in the Credentials:
config = 
  "ip": "172.16.102.82",
  "credentials": { 
      "sessionID": "123" 
  } 
}

 oneview_client = OneViewClient(config) 

🔒 Tip: Check the file permissions because the password is stored in clear-text.
