84 iLO configs to update -- can it be done en masse?

[Preston Gallwas]

We want to update the SNMP trap receivers location as well as turn on host alert forwarding in all of our iLOs. I was wondering if there was a way to do this en masse, such as the replicate agent settings for HPSIM.

Thanks!

Look in the user guide for RIBCL the scripting language for iLO and there are examples of using it with HP SIM...

Hmm. It seems to connect via SSH to our ILO's, the default setting of "automatic" has the command line disabled.

We'd need to enable the command line en masse...to set the snmp settings en masse... arg :P

Guess I'm back to manually addressing our ILO's, eh?

No, Preston, the process does not use SSH and command line. The CPQLOCFG utility makes a remote HTTPS connection to log in to the iLO and perform the configuration. Alternatively, the new HPONCONFIG utility can be used at the local host's OS level t configure the iLO in that system.

Ah, excellent! Sorry I misunderstood at first, I have the utility now. Your help is greatly appreciated.
