If I try use any of the get-hpilo commnad, I get the next error:

Get-ErrorDetail : Error - 10.70.63.2 - ilocz262909wh.mol.sys.corp - Retrieving information from iLO.

I have seen similar topics, but cannot find any solution.

The version is:

I have had this issue crop up before. The only way I've found to fix it is to perform a factory reset of the ilo. Be careful, though. If you have the LOM turned on, some models will reset that as well. So, you'll not be able to remote in. It's easy to fix if you're at the same location as the server but impossible if you're not.

Hi,

Probable reason could be that iLO server is not responding to our RIBCL HTTPS calls in the required timeout period (default - 60 seconds). We have the option to increase this timeout value from Set-HPiLOSessionTimeout cmdlet which will make all the iLO cmdlets to take the new value.

Before that you can try Find-HPiLO with iLO ip address to find out whether the iLO is reachable or not. This cmdlet also has timeout value where you can increase the value depending the response time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi,

That's interesting Find-HPiLO works.

Can you share the results of this cmdlet for my reference.

The Session timeout cmdlet takes milliseconds as value hope you have converted while supplying the value to the cmdlet.

Set-HPiLOSessionTimeOut -TimeOut 120000

Please share your client environment details by executing below cmds and iLO FW details as well.

(Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).Name

$PSVersionTable

I hope all the necessary ports are enabled from client to iLO server like 443 and 80 for normal communication.

Thanks,

Gokul

I can connect to the iLO with the browseres, so I think the ports are ok.

There are no traces in the iLo log, when I try to use the get-hpilo* commands. There is no connection at all.

The iLO is ILO4 ver 2.50 and 2.40

The issue got resolved after some changes happened on LAN side.

Hi,

Could you please share the solution. I've got the same issue on a W2K12 R2 server when using any HP iLO cmlet (except for the find-hpilo cmdlet)

Thanks in advance.
