cli commands for iLO Management - curl and redfish

Redfish curl cli commands for iLO Management

APPLIES TO :  HP iLO

ISSUE :  The links, Server health, Raid Configuration and other outputs needs to be verified for many servers

GOAL :  Automate with scripts to collect outputs and validate the settings.

SOLUTION :  Login to every servers console and validating them is a painful work. we can create scripts to do that with the help of this commands, I am not providing any scripts in this blog, but the commands will help you to create a script for you.

Prerequisites :   A Linux jump server which can reach all the console IP's or any Linux terminal - preferably Cygwin installed in your laptop.
