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 37: Set ESKM Primary Key Server
=======================================

The method **ex37_set_ESKM_PrimaryKeyServer** takes an instance of rest object
(or redfish object if using Redfish API) and primary key server address and
port settings as arguments.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex37_set_ESKM_PrimaryKeyServer(restobj, PrimaryKeyServerAddress,\
                                    PrimaryKeyServerPort):

Find and get the ESKM settings URI from the systems resources collection.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("ESKM.")

For the ESKM settings, prepare the request body with the Primary key server
settings we want to change and perform the PATCH request.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     body = dict()

     body["PrimaryKeyServerAddress"] = PrimaryKeyServerAddress
     body["PrimaryKeyServerPort"] = int(PrimaryKeyServerPort)

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

A successful PATCH response will set the primary key server settings to the new
values provided in ESKM settings, however the changes will go into effect only
after a system reset or reboot.
