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 18: Set server asset tag
================================

The method **ex18_set_server_asset_tag** takes an instance of rest object (or
redfish object if using Redfish API) and asset tag to be set as arguments.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex18_set_server_asset_tag(restobj, asset_tag):

Find and get the system resource for computer system.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("ComputerSystem.")

For each system for the systems collection asset tag parameter is set as the
body for PATCH request.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
      body = {"AssetTag": asset_tag}

The PATCH request is performed with the asset tag in the body.

.. code-block:: python

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