First create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the **RestObject** or
**RedfishObject** class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/
ip address formatted as a string ("https://xx.xx.xx.xx"), iLO login username
and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets
systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 15: Set UID light
=========================

The method **ex15_set_uid_light** takes an instance of rest object (or redfish
object if using Redfish API) and boolean uid state (FALSE for turn off  or
TRUE for turn on) as arguments.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex15_set_uid_light(restobj, uid):

Find and get the system resource for computer system.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("ComputerSystem.")

Prepare the PATCH request header based on the requested UID state parameter.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     body = dict()
     if uid:
         body["IndicatorLED"] = "Lit"
     else:
         body["IndicatorLED"] = "Off"

Perform the PATCH action, check the response.

.. code-block:: python

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