property errors()

All errors found by the last validation.

find_prop(propname, latestschema=False, proppath=None)

Searches through all locations and returns the schema found for the provided propname type.

• Parameters

  • propname (str) – String containing the schema name.
  • proppath (str) – String containing the schema path if you wish to use that instead.
  • latestschema (bool) – Flag to determine if we should drop the schema version when we try to match schema information. If True, the version will be dropped.

find_property(propname, cls=None, latestschema=False)

Returns iLO/BIOS registries/schemas

• Parameters

  • propname (str) – string containing the registry/schema name.
  • cls (list) – self._classes list of dictionaries.
  • latestschema (bool.) – flag to drop the versioning in the type string.

• Returns

  iLO/BIOS registries/schemas that match the supplied name.

get_registry_model(currtype=None, proppath=None, getmsg=False, searchtype=None, newarg=None, latestschema=False)

Loads the schema file and find the registry model if available. A registry model is a object built for schema/bios registry data.

• Parameters

  • currtype (dict.) – Type selection string.
  • proppath (str) – String containing the schema path if you wish to use that instead.
  • getmsg (bool) – Flag to determine if commit should be skipped.

  • newarg (list) – List of multi level properties to be modified.
  • latestschema (bool) – Flag to determine if we should drop the schema version when we try to match schema information. If True, the version will be dropped.

• Returns

  Schema in object form called a registry object.

geturidict(locationobj)

Return the external reference link.

• Parameters

  locationobj (dict) – Dictionary to get the URI reference from.

itermems(membername=None)

Searches through all locations and yields each entry.

• Parameters

  membername (str) – string containing the registry name. If not passed we use the typedefines string by default.

iterregmems(membername=None)

Searches through all registries and yields each entry.

• Parameters

  membername (str) – string containing the registry name. If not passed we use the typedefines string by default.

iterschemamems(membername=None)

Searches through all schemas and yields each entry

• Parameters

  membername (str) – string containing the registry name. If not passed we use the typedefines string by default.

nestedreg(reg=None, args=None)

Go through the registry entry to find the required nested attribute.

• Parameters

  • reg (dict) – Registry entry of the given attribute.
  • args (list) – List of multi level properties to be modified.

• Returns

  dict of Registry entry

reset_errors_warnings()

Resets warnings and errors, getting ready for the next validation.

updatevalidationdata()

Loads the types into the validation manager from monolith.

validatedict(tdict, currtype=None, proppath=None, latestschema=False, searchtype=None, monolith=None, reg=None, unique=None)

Load the schema file and validate tdict against it.

• Parameters

  • tdict (dict) – the dictionary to test against.
  • currtype (str) – String containing the type the tdict dictionary is.
  • proppath (str) – String containing the schema path of the tdict dictionary if you wish to use that instead.
  • latestschema (bool) – Flag to determine if we should drop the schema version when we try to match schema information. If True, the version will be dropped.
  • searchtype (str) – Include the attribute registry of you are validating a bios registry.
  • monolith (dict) – Full data model retrieved from server.
  • unique (bool) – Flag to override for skipping unique properties.
  • reg (dict.) – Registry entry of the given attribute. If this is not provided we will attempt to search based on the searchtype and currtype/proppath arguments.

• Returns

  returns an error list.

property warnings()

All warnings found by the last validation.

redfish.ris.validation.checkattr(aobj, prop)
