Connect-HPEBIOS on G8 with ESXi on it

[JStars]

Hello, when I use the Connect-HPEBIOS on G9 and G10 all fine. However on G8 it is mandatory to use the ClientLoggedInUserPassword parameter. Our servers host ESXi OS and frankly I don't know what to pass there as parameter or how to get rid of that mandatory parameter! Any hint? I searched and googled but found zero. In one pdf HPE states that the parameter is only required when a server is on WinPE bios.

wow.. nobody in that situation?? I can't believe that HP wrote this cmdlet to work ONLY if on the host there is Windows!!!??

Hello 

After checking your query I noticed that this issue is so far not reported by any of customer's worldwide for Gen8 units. 

Hence we request you to please log a support case with our team in order to get this issue technically isolated and resolved. 

Regards

HPE Services.

Thanks for replying... I have already performed all needed changes on all G8 MANUALLY.

Hi,

BIOS cmdlets for Gen8 work either on windows host or WinPE environment, since your host is a ESXi it is unable to connect to it.

For more information please refer BIOS User Guide
