RESTful API support for iLO

HPE iLO 4 firmware version 2.00 and later includes the RESTful API. The RESTful API is a management
interface that server management tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of the
ProLiant server via iLO. The RESTful API uses basic HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE,
and PATCH) to submit or return JSON-formatted data with iLO web server.
HPE iLO 4 2.30 and later is Redfish 1.0-conformant while remaining backward compatible with the
existing RESTful API.
HPE iLO 4 supports the RESTful API with ProLiant Gen8 and later servers. For more information about
the RESTful API, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/restfulinterface/docs).
