Using iLO get server details

Shreenivas Baitule — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 05:22:55 GMT

Hi,

When we connect to the web interface of iLO, we can get details of the Server (like NIC MAC Addresses etc), in which this iLO is present. So for example:

“System Status” -> “System Information” -> NIC -> Port [1|2] NIC MAC address

This tab will show us the NIC MAC address of the server box (DL series) or blade (BL series) where this iLO is present.

I want to get this info from a CLI session. Is there any way to get this?

Can someone tell me the detailed way to get this.

Somewhere I get GET_HOST can give me these details. But I am not able to use it properly.

Would be hapy if someone can help me with this.

I am using Linux system. So windows based utilities will not work for me. I need a Linux related solution.

TIA.

You can get this via SMASH commands in the CLI, but it's easier to use this perl script and example XML to pull the info you need.

This version was just released and will also work with iLO3

Thanks lot Jimmy. It worked for me. I used the locfg.pl script that is part of that tar-ball. Thanks once again.
