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 19: Reset iLO
=====================

The method **ex19_reset_ilo** takes an instance of rest object (or redfish
object if using Redfish API) as argument.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex19_reset_ilo(restobj):

Find and get the system resource for manager.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("Manager.")

Action reset request is added for the POST request body.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     body = {"Action": "Reset"}

POST request for iLO reset is performed and response status is checked.

.. code-block:: python

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