Edit iLO settings through OneView

daax — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 15:13:58 GMT

I'm looking for a way to edit iLO settings through OneView. I'm not sure if this is possible, but I thought I'd ask here.

For example, If I wanted to use OneView to generate new Certificate requests for all of the iLOs connected to it. Or set the AD/LDAP configuration on all iLOs connected to Oneview.

I know that this can be done in mass through the rest api or iLO cmdlets. My issue is that the iLOs in our environmet don't (and can't) have the same local admin password, which makes scripting difficult.

I was hoping to to leverage the SSO capability of OneView to make iLO settings changes across my environment.

Any help would be appricated.

Hello daxx,

Since iLOs in our environmet don't (and can't) have the same local admin password, which makes scripting difficult.

So editing need to be done manually...

Thanks,

I'm not sure about changing iLO settings through OneView, but you definitely can through the OA. Use the Invoke-HPOAiLOCommand to execute your commands.

There is the OneView Get-HPOViLOSSO command that generates a SSO URL, but I have yet to use it.

If you use the get-hpovilosso command to get all ilos withing one view, you can then use those sso connections to run commands via "get-hprestdataraw" and "invoke-restaction" using the "-session" flag to specify the sso connection.

With these commands i was able to request and apply certificates for all of my ilo connections with relative east to doing them all manually. WITHOUT haveing to know any of the local accounts on any specific ilo. very useful
