ILO 4 Scripted Media URL

[cboi]

Hi Oscar,

I replaced https by http but the issue is the same, the boot attempt fails !

For information, my iLO4 FW release is :

License Type iLO 4 Advanced

iLO Firmware Version 1.32 Nov 05 2013

Regards,

cboi

The URL value you put into a browser is exactly the same as your putting into the URL field in ilo?

Please post the URL you are using, feel free to replace the actuall IP address or hostname with 0.0.0.0

I ran into this along time ago, actualy wrote a series of posts on my blog.  At my company we are using these methods to automate most common tasks.

As far as Name vs IP, I ran into two issues with that.

1. DNS servers were not specified in network settings, therefore name resoultion no worky.
2. The name is in another DNS domain so short name was not working.  Server vs server.domain.int
1. OR Server.domain.int vs server.sub.domain.int
3. I know this is an old thread, but thought I would give some input for futire google searches.

So did you get a URL with any FQDN working?  When last I dealt with iLO I had FQDN problems in multiple places, including virtual media and syslog.

I can use FQDN all day long.  Funny enought another engineer asked me why ISO was not mounting on the ILO via http.  Turns out he just forgot to specify the DNS servers in the nework settings.

Groovy, which version of iLO?

[Torxb]

I have been doing this on ilo3 & 4 for years.  I am thinking ilo2 but not 100% sure..  Old Age :)

Interesting, as of late 2013 I couldn't get them working even with valid resolvers configured.  Entered a ticket and HP told me "yeah that doesn't work".

Props on getting ilo2 to work if you did, it thoroughly underwhelmed me.

Are you using ilo Advance licensing.  I vaugly recall this may have been one of the benifits, but could be wrong.

Torxb, are you scripting the virtual media URL, or are you setting it via the web interface / remote console session?

If I recall this issue only occured when trying to script in the URL
