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 4: Reset a server
=========================

The method **ex4_reset_server** takes an instance of rest object (or redfish
object if using redfish API) and BIOS password (default None) as arguments.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex4_reset_server(restobj, bios_password=None):

Find and get the Computer System settings URI from the systems resources
collection.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("ComputerSystem.")

Next the HTTP request body is set for the reset of each Computer System URI.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     body = dict()
     body["Action"] = "Reset"
     body["ResetType"] = "ForceRestart"

POST request is sent next and response error is handled if any.

.. code-block:: python

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

A successful PATCH response will restart the system.
