HPONCFG /i use and examples ?

[narglix]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently writing a VBS script to get all the embedded health of an ILO.

 What I want is to avoid to create an XML file to put the configuration. So, I've created my xml request into a string variable but I tried to use it with no success with the /i parameter of HPONCFG :-(

Does anyone have successfully used an input stream instead of a xml file ?

In a manual way, I execute hponcfg /i, copy paste my xml and make a CTRL-C it works :-S

My vbs command line looks like that :

Set objWshScriptExec = objShell.Exec ("cmd /c " & requestXML & " | X:\Tools\iLo\hponcfg /i") 

 I've search in google but no examples of the /i parameter have been found.

In a manual way, I execute hponcfg /i, copy paste my xml and make a CTRL-C it works :-S

Thanks in advance.

Finally I found a solution to get the result with vbs :

Dim objShell,requestXML
Set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

requestXML = vBCrLf & "<RIBCL VERSION =""2.0"">" & vBCrLf
requestXML = requestXML & vbTab & "<LOGIN USER_LOGIN=""#######"" PASSWORD=""#######"">" & vBCrLf
requestXML = requestXML & vbTab & vbTab &"<SERVER_INFO MODE=""read"">" & vBCrLf
requestXML = requestXML & vbTab & vbTab & vbTab &"<GET_EMBEDDED_HEALTH />" & vBCrLf
requestXML = requestXML & vbTab & vbTab &"</SERVER_INFO>" & vBCrLf
requestXML = requestXML & vbTab & "</LOGIN>" & vBCrLf
requestXML = requestXML & "</RIBCL>" & vBCrLf

Set objWshScriptExec = objShell.Exec("X:\Tools\iLo\hponcfg /i")
objWshScriptExec.StdIn.Writeline requestXML
objWshScriptExec.StdIn.Close()

WScript.echo objWshScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll

 Enjoy ;-)
