Configuring iLO using Powershell script

JonasPonas — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 12:36:20 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am trying to configure iLO for ProLiant and Synergy servers.

To configure ProLiant servers i am using https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/HPEiLOCmdlets/3.0.0.0

To configure Synergy servers i am using https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_6d64cb45d4c649ceb8e9cc93b5#tab-history

When running this command:

Set-HPiLODirectory -Server $iLOIPAddress -Username $user -Password $pass
-LDAPDirectoryAuthentication Use_Directory_Default_Schema -ServerAddress $DomainController
-ServerPort 636
-UserContext1 "TEXT"
-UserContext2 "TEXT"
-UserContext3 "TEXT"
-UserContext4 ""
-UserContext5 ""
-DisableCertificateAuthentication

I get this error:

Check-RibclEmpty : Error: The content of the RIBCL is empty. Use "Get-Help" and try a gain. At C:\temp\iLO-Config\Modules\HPiLOCmdlets\HPiLOCmdlets.psm1:29271 char:16 + if(Check-RibclEmpty($send)){ + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Chec k-RibclEmpty

What could be the problem? Any pointers or help is appreciated.

The problem was that i wasnt using grave accent when moving code lines below.

Set-HPiLODirectory -Server $iLOIPAddress -Username $user -Password $pass -LDAPDirectoryAuthentication Use_Directory_Default_Schema -ServerAddress $DomainController ` -ServerPort 636 ` -UserContext1 "TEXT" ` -UserContext2 "TEXT" ` -UserContext3 "TEXT" ` -UserContext4 "" ` -UserContext5 "" ` -DisableCertificateAuthentication
