iLO RESTful API support for UEFI
The ProLiant Gen9 servers include support for a UEFI-compliant System BIOS, along with UEFI System
Utilities and Embedded UEFI Shell preboot environments. ProLiant Gen9 servers also support configuring
the UEFI BIOS settings using the iLO RESTful API, a management interface that server management
tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of a ProLiant server. The iLO RESTful
API uses basic HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and PATCH) to submit or return JSON-
formatted data with iLO web server.
For more information about the iLO RESTful API and the RESTful Interface Tool, see the

Packard Enterprise website
