Access and Configure HP OA (C7000) from windows

Hi,

Could anyone advice, if any option/software to access HP OA from windows/linux ? Something like for iLO - HP Lights-Out Online Configuration utility (HPONCFG)

Note: I am not taling about ssh/GUI via web browser.

The default methos is browser or CLI, even serial.

Have a look at OneView too.

Thanks @torsten,

Yeah, oneview is good option but here not applicable as I have issue with a Bladechassic at remote site :)

Thought there will be something like iLO software for Windows/Linux.

Enclosure is accessible via OA2 IP and able to login but thats in "Standby" mode. And when we try to change "Standby to Active", it will say "swtiching" but nothing will happen; OA2 still in standby mode.
Seems, we need to send an engineer onsite :(

Assuming you have 2 OAs, one is active, one is standby.

Not sure if it works, but IMHO even the standby should be able to run a 'showall'.

Yes, got both OAs with IP configured. Seems 1st OA not reachable due to different VLAN and might be removed VLAN from access list. Standby is with another VLAN and accessible. Yes, I am able to see all configurations but unable to change anything.. and not able to make OA2 active.

We are checking with DC Network team to trace the VLAN issue.
