Fujitsu PRIMERGY: Get iRMC Advanced Video Redirection (AVR) Console via CLI

I was asked how to get an iRMC AVR Console window from command line on GitHub. That may be useful for others, so I am sharing the information on my blog.

To get a JNLP file from iRMC S2, S3, and S4, you just need to download avr.jnlp using curl like this

$ curl -s -k -u <iRMC user>:<iRMC password> --digest https://<iRMC address>/avr.jnlp -o avr.jnlp

Example

$ curl -s -k -u admin:admin --digest https://192.168.10.10/avr.jnlp -o avr.jnlp

If you would like to lauch console in one line, you just need to use a pipe to run javaws.

$ curl -s -k -u admin:admin --digest https://192.168.10.10/avr.jnlp -o avr.jnlp |javaws avr.jnlp

For iRMC S5, the above may not work. In that case, get a session token and then download a JNLP file.

$ TOKEN=`curl -i -s -k -u admin:admin -H "Accept: application/json" -H"Content-Type: application/json" https://192.168.10.10/redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions -d '{"UserName":"admin", "Password":"admin"}' |grep "X-Auth-Token" |awk -F':' '{print $2}'`
$ curl -k -s -H "X-Auth-Token: ${TOKEN}" https://192.168.10.10/avr.jnlp -o avr.jnlp

You can create a small script to automate the above. Here is a sample bash script.

#!/bin/bash

CURL=`which curl`
JAVAWS=`which javaws`

function show_usage() {
    echo ""
    echo "Usage:"
    echo "    $(basename $0) -i  [-u ] [-p ]"
    echo ""
    exit 1
}

function get_irmcs4_console() {
    local irmc=$1
    local user=$2
    local password=$3

    if [ -f avr.jnlp ]; then
        rm -f avr.jnlp
    fi

    ${CURL} -k -s -u ${user}:${password} --digest https://${irmc}/avr.jnlp -o avr.jnlp

    if [ $? -eq 0 -a -f avr.jnlp ]; then
        ${JAVAWS} avr.jnlp
    fi
}

function get_irmcs5_console() {
    local irmc=$1
    local user=$2
    local password=$3

    if [ -f avr.jnlp ]; then
        rm -f avr.jnlp
    fi
    TOKEN=$(${CURL} -i -s -k -u admin:admin -H "Accept: application/json" -H"Content-Type: application/json" https://${irmc}/redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions -d "{\"UserName\": \"${user}\", \"Password\": \"${password}\"}" |grep "X-Auth-Token" |awk -F':' '{print $2}')

    if [ -z ${TOKEN} ]; then
        echo "ERROR: Could not get the auth token from iRMC"
        exit 1
    else
        ${CURL} -k -s -H "X-Auth-Token: ${TOKEN}" https://${irmc}/avr.jnlp -o avr.jnlp
    fi

    if [ $? -eq 0 -a -f avr.jnlp ]; then
        grep "jnlp" avr.jnlp
        if [ $? -ne 0  ]; then
            echo "ERROR: HTML5 Viewer is used in iRMC"
        else
            ${JAVAWS} avr.jnlp
        fi
    fi
}
