🔌 Redfish Interface Emulator - Postman Test Collection

This repository contains Postman collections for testing various Redfish API endpoints exposed by a Redfish Interface Emulator (typically running at localhost:5000). The collections simulate realistic system operations such as volume creation, BIOS settings update, virtual media mounting, and system resets.

🧪 Available Postman Collections

1. Volume

Test scenarios for Redfish Volume API:

• Volume creation with RAID settings
• GET Volume
• GET Volume-1
• Error handling (capacity limits, chassis mismatch, duplicates)
• Volume deletion

2. Virtual Media

Simulates remote media mount/unmount:

• Insert virtual media
• GET Virtual Media
• Eject media

3. Computer System

System control through:

• Computer reset using ComputerSystem.Reset

4. BIOS

BIOS management via:

• BIOS attribute update (BootMode, etc.)
• GET BIOS Settings
• GET BIOS
• BIOS reset to default

🔐 Authentication

All requests use HTTP Basic Authentication. Replace these placeholders with your actual credentials in Postman or environment variables:

"username": "{{username}}",
"password": "{{password}}"

You can define these in your Postman environment.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Postman (GUI) or Newman (CLI)
• Redfish emulator running locally (e.g., localhost:5000)

Running Tests via Postman

1. Import each *.postman_collection.json file
2. Set up environment variables (username, password, host, etc.)
3. Execute individual requests or full collections

Running via Newman (CLI)

newman run collections/Volume.postman_collection.json \
  --env-var username=Administrator \
  --env-var password=Password

---

⚠️ Notes

• Do not commit real credentials. Use environment variables or .env files.
• If you change the Redfish emulator port or host, update the URLs accordingly.

---

🛠️ Future Improvements

• Add Postman tests for Account and Session services
• Include Redfish schema validation
• Integrate with GitHub Actions for CI testing
• Add Newman report generation
