HP ilo connection error with Powershell + HP ilo cmdlets

dakine77 — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 14:49:43 GMT

Hello.

I just downloaded and installed the latest HP ILO commandlet package (1.3.1)

When I run a simple command I get the an error which I do not understand:

PowerCLI C:\> Get-HPiLOFirmwareInfo -Server iloserver01.company.int -Username Admin

...

Error - 192.168.99.13 - iloserver01.company.int - retrieving information from iLO
Ausnahme beim Aufrufen von "UploadString" mit 3 Argument(en): "Die zugrunde liegende Verbindung wurde geschlossen: Unerwarteter Fehler beim Senden.."

+FullyQualifiedErrorId :Ausnahme beim Aufrufen von "UploadString" mit 3 Argument(en): "Die zugrunde liegende Verbindung wurde geschlossen: Unerwarteter Fehler beim Senden.."

Does anyone have the same issue and know a workaround or answer for this problem?

I have found a post with a same error post, but without a reply or solution:

PS C:\Windows\System32> Get-HPiLOServerName -Server usraciPV100-r  -Username "RILOE_ADMIN" –Password "password" -DisableCertificateAuthentication

I’ve verified the ILO name is correct. The ILO is running version 2.05. It’s online and running. And I can log into the ILO with the username and password. I get this error message for any of the ILO’s in our environment.

Hi,

This is an enhanced security feature implemented in all cmdlets of iLO 1.3 release where cmdlets will work only if target iLO server has an valid server certificate installed on it, otherwise cmdlet will fail with the mentioned output.

To by-pass this check we have provided another switch parameter for all cmdlets called "-DisableCertificateAuthentication" which will not check for server certificate and you will get desired output, but its not recommened from security point of view.

Let me know if you still face same issue.

Thanks,

Gokul

Still having the same error with the error message that I posted before. There is a valid certificate installed. Even calling the cmdlet with the option "-DisableCertificateAuthentication" has the same problem.

I have tested the cmdlet call with different ilos and settings:

DL380 G7 is working  - ilo 3 FW 1.87 with valid certificate

DL380 G7 is not working  - ilo 3 FW 1.87 with invalid certificate (also with option "-DisableCertificateAuthentication")

iDL380 G8 is not working - ilo 4 with FW 2.40 with valid certificate

DL380 G9 is not working - ilo 4 with FW 2.40 with valid certificate

Strange behaviour. Any idea?

Hi,

Can you get me more details on the system where iLO cmdlets are not working to triage the issue further.

$PSVersionTable

Get-HPiLOModuleVersion

Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object Caption, Description, OSArchitecture, ServicePackMajorVersion | Format-List

Also have you enabled higher security standard like AEH or FIPS on the iLO server where its not working ?

Thanks,

Gokul

Hi,

We tried to reproduce the issue in our lab and found that its not reproducible for the servers you mentioned earlier.

DL380p – Gen8 – FW 2.40 – Encryption Enabled / Disabled – Valid and Invalid Certificate – Cmdlet Works.

DL380 – Gen9 – FW 2.40 – Encryption Enabled / Disabled – Valid and Invalid Certificate - Cmdlet Works.

The environment we tested is same as you mentioned PS 4.0 and Windows 7.

Looks like there is some thing different on your environment which making cmdlets fail.

Are you using localised build of iLO ?

Thanks,

Gokul

I was running into the same problem today, and after some googling around, I found out that the issue was related to the Power Configuration on your client machine, not the HPE Powershell library or ILO Configuration.

Try adding this to your powershell script:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
or

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11

Hi,

You can download the latest version of iLO i.e., 1.4.0.2 from the HPE Web which has the fix for the iLO3 AES encription issue.

Let me know if you still face same problem we can take it up further offline.

Thanks,

Gokul

Hi,

I think the exceptions coming from some servers could be that they are not reachable from client machine where you are running the iLO cmdlets.

You can verify that by running those error throwing iLO servers list using Find-HPiLO cmdlet.
