ILO Logg in

Jeff Thornell — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 08:03:48 GMT

If a server is sent out in the field without the ILO properly configured is there a way to remotely configure it in any way? I have SIM server 5.1 running and most of the clients are running local sim 7.x

Thanks

If the OS on the server is windows then yes, there are a couple of utilities.

Search for HPLOCFG.
The download is:

There's also a zip file available of xml scripts.

Hey Rob, I downloaded it along with some sample scripts. I ran it on a box and it worked great..
The only thing I can't figure out is how can I run it on a remote server? (without logging into it first) is this possible?

Thanks

Jeff

There is another utility that connects to the ILOs that you can use to configure some details . But IIRC that needs a username / password for the ILO. CPQLOCFG I think.

The HPLOCFG is the only one I know about that you can use when you don't know the password.

It's a while since I've used them.
