Question - External firmware repository

[ClaireHayard]

Hello,

Concerning the addition of an external firmware repository on OneView, does the current plugin (oneview_repositories) supports the usage of an HTTPS web server as a repository ?

What parameters are needed ? (ex: certificate ?)

In the REST API:

Hello @nabhajit-ray, any news on this ?

Hi Claire,

Yes. Oneview repositories (oneview_repositories) plugin supports usage of https web server. Please ensure that Server Certificate is added to the appliance before repository creation. Below is an example:

• name: Gather facts about a Server Certificate by remote address
  oneview_certificates_server_facts:
  config: "{{ config }}"
  sessionID: "{{ session.ansible_facts.session }}"
  remote: "{{ contents.repositories.remote_server }}"
  delegate_to: localhost

• set_fact:
  certificate: "{{ remote_certificate['certificateDetails'][0]['base64Data'] }}"

#Server Certificate need to be added to appliance for using an Https web server

• name: Create a Server Certificate
  oneview_certificates_server:
  config: "{{ config }}"
  sessionID: "{{ session.ansible_facts.session }}"
  state: present
  name: "{{ contents.repositories.remote_server }}"
  data:
  certificateDetails:
  - aliasName: "{{ contents.repositories.remote_server }}"
  base64Data: "{{ certificate }}"
  delegate_to: localhost

• name: Create a Repository
  oneview_repositories:
  config: "{{ config }}"
  sessionID: "{{ session.ansible_facts.session }}"
  state: present
  validate_etag: False
  data:
  name: "{{ contents.repositories.repository_name }}"
  userName: "{{ contents.repositories.repository_username }}"
  password: "{{ contents.repositories.repository_password }}"
  repositoryURI: "{{ contents.repositories.repository_uri }}"
  repositoryType: "FirmwareExternalRepo"
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: repository
