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 44: Get logical drives
==============================

The method **ex44_get_LogicalDrives** takes an instance of rest object (or
redfish object if using Redfish API) as argument.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex44_get_LogicalDrives(restobj):

Find and get the system resource for HpSmartStorageArrayController.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("HpSmartStorageArrayController.")

Send HTTP GET request to the system URI(s).

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     response = restobj.rest_get(instance["href"])

For each system print array controllers from the response body. Return an error
if not available.

.. code-block:: python

 if "ArrayControllers" in response.dict:
     sys.stdout.write("\tArrayControllers:  " +
                      str(response.dict["ArrayControllers"]) + "\n")
 else:
     sys.stderr.write("\tArrayControllers is not " \
                      "available on HpSmartStorageArrayController resource\n")
