Change ILO password on many ilo

cth1 — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 13:45:14 GMT

I have a lot of DL servers gen 8,9 and 10 that I need to change ILO password on.

I'm looking for at way to do it easy change password on all servers at one time....

At least the one in same network (most of them)..

At the moment they all have the same user and password.

In future user should be the same but password should be individual.

I have tried with a powershell script and ilorest and a csv file with alle ilo ip and username and passwords.

But I did not have luck enough to get it working.

What is the best way to do it?

@shiva_jr

Thanks

I actually did see that link when I was googling

But I not sure I understood it complete.

But maybe I can try again

But hpconcfg is that the same as ilo rest?

Maybe I'm to newbie for this... and faster to do it manually

I tried the linked solution but did not work for me....

I have found solution with ilorest, but also this seems to be difficult to get working

I have created my own solution. it works fine. Sorry it's in danish some places.

From a server that can ping ILO ip's

1. Create ilo_list.txt file with ILO ip's that need passsword change.

2. Install HPEiLOCmdlets for powershell

3. Use this script and change user,pasword and new password:

# Ignorer SSL-certifikatfejl
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = { $true }

# Importer nødvendige moduler
Import-Module HPEiLOCmdlets -ErrorAction Stop

# Parametre
$inputFile = "ilo_list.txt" # Fil med iLO IP-adresser
$currentUsername = "user1" # Aktuelt brugernavn
$currentPassword = "pass6666" # Aktuelt password
$newPassword = "pass7777" # Nyt password

# Timeout for forbindelsen
$timeout = 60

# Tjek om inputfilen eksisterer
if (-Not (Test-Path $inputFile)) {
Write-Host "Inputfil '$inputFile' blev ikke fundet. Afslutter." -ForegroundColor Red
exit
}

# Læs IP-adresser fra filen
$iloIPs = Get-Content $inputFile

# Skift password på hver iLO
foreach ($ip in $iloIPs) {
Write-Host "Forbinder til iLO på IP-adresse: $ip" -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
# Opret forbindelse til iLO
$connection = Connect-HPEiLO -Address $ip -Username $currentUsername -Password $currentPassword -DisableCertificateAuthentication -Timeout $timeout -Verbose

if ($connection -ne $null) {
Write-Host "Forbindelsen til iLO på IP: $ip er oprettet." -ForegroundColor Green

# Skift adgangskoden
Set-HPEiLOUser -Connection $connection -LoginName $currentUsername -NewPassword $newPassword -Verbose
Write-Host "Adgangskode opdateret for iLO på IP: $ip" -ForegroundColor Green

# Afbryd forbindelsen
Disconnect-HPEiLO -Connection $connection
} else {
Write-Host "Kunne ikke oprette forbindelse til iLO på IP: $ip" -ForegroundColor Red
}
} catch {
Write-Host "Fejl ved forbindelse til iLO på IP: $ip - $_" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}

Write-Host "Færdig med at opdatere adgangskoder." -ForegroundColor Cyan

Sorry... my solution works on ILO 4 but not ILO 5 with TPM

Is there a powershell command that overrides TPM so that I can change the password?

I get this error and password is not changed.

I think it's a TPM issue
