using ilorest to set SNTP IP

capmarvel — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 06:07:31 GMT

I figured out how to use ilorest to set our ILO's IP:

/opt/tools/ilorest ethernet --network_ipv4 X.X.X.X,Y.Y.Y.Y,Z.Z.Z.Z
/opt/tools/ilorest iloreset

But...I can not figure out how to set the SNTP "Primary Time Server" IP with ilorest. What would the ilorest syntax be to set the "Primary Time Server"?

(These are HP ML350 G10 running ILO 5)

2 things:

I've already looked at the documentation and couldn't find the exact syntac I'd use for command line setting SNTP settnigs...so I'm asking for the answer here.

And secondly, going to your link that page comes up but becomes "unresponsive", so is useless to me anyway.

Can someone just post the syntax to setting the SNTP IP here?

Your doucumention says NTP things like below....but nowhere do I see where it tells me how to set this with ilorest, hence my question. How ould I do this with your ilorest utility?

Documentation is below:

The currently configured Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers are available in the DateTime resource at /redfish/v1/Managers/{id}/DateTime.

GET /redfish/v1/Managers/{id}/DateTime

If NTP is not being managed by DHCP, you may PATCH server addresses into the StaticNTPServers array.

Hello,

From the link I shared, please try below :

PATCH /redfish/v1/Managers/{id}/DateTime

{

"StaticNTPServers": [

"<NTP server 1>",

"<NTP server 2>"

]

}

Again, you're missing the point - we need to do this command line not from the ilorest interface.

I can do the ILO's IP with this syntax:

/opt/tools/ilorest ethernet --network_ipv4 X.X.X.X,Y.Y.Y.Y,Z.Z.Z.Z

Now what is the syntax for doing the SNTP IP from command line?

Your refusal to just give me the syntax on how to do this with ilorest is puzzling. Can confirm it an even be done with ilorest?

Also, we are on ESX 7..0.3 and HP documentation, we can't use the old hponcfg utiliy anymore....you tell us here we must use ilorest:
