Theermal configuration not applying using powershell

Max99 — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 05:37:34 GMT

Hi there, trying to change termal configuration remotelly on several hp servers. Find a command set-hpebiosthermaloption all was fine except that changes applies only after reboot of server.

However, if I change this option in web interface of iLO the changes apllied without reboot only iLO resets.

Is there any command that I can do same thing with powershell? Tried with reset-hpeilo but it didn't helped.

Hi @Max99 ,
You can use even the RESTful API. Please refer this document.

Unfortunately, there's no direct PowerShell command that can apply thermal configuration changes to an HP server without a reboot, unlike the real-time changes possible via the iLO web interface. The `Set-HPEBIOSthermalOption` command applies changes to the server's BIOS, which are only activated on the next system boot. The iLO web interface, however, interacts directly with the iLO management chip, allowing it to apply changes immediately after a simple iLO reset, a function not exposed through standard host-OS PowerShell cmdlets. Therefore, for remote scripting, you will need to either schedule a server reboot or use iLO's RESTful API for on-the-fly changes.
