Feature requests: Automatic Discovery of Server Hardware AND HPSUT for ESXi without a RedHat ser

[Eriksen1]

Hi

I have two feature requests

- Automatic Discovery of Server Hardware

 * I know this can potentially be done with the HP ILO PowerShell Library and Hp OneView PowerShell Library, but it should be integrated into the API/HP OneView PowerShell Library and be part of the UI. This is a fairly big disadvantage to this product if one has many servers to maintain.

- HPSUT for ESXi without a proxy/intermediary RedHat Enterprise Server

 * Servers with ESXi cannot be updated while running without HPSUT which requires you to run a service on an intermediary RH server. This is a major shortcoming imo, one should be able to install a .vib or something on ESXi servers with vSphere Update Manager or through the ESXCLI.

Thanks for looking into this

Hi,

I am afraid this forum can't help you in addresssing new feature requests.

But if you are looking for a script on how to discover the server in a range then that you can refer below.

#Discovering complete subnet ip address range

Find-HPiLO -Range 11.10.9.0-255

#Piping output from Find-HPiLO to another cmdlet to get firmware version of iLO
Find-HPiLO 11.10.9.0-255 -Verbose |
% {Add-Member -PassThru -InputObject $_ Username "username"}|
% {Add-Member -PassThru -InputObject $_ Password "password"}|
Get-HPiLOFirmwareVersion -Verbose

Thanks,

Gokul
