Help getting the SerialNumber using PowerShell

[PhS-]

Hello,

Pretty simple, I want to get the serial number using powershell from the iLO and it works ... but only for some of my servers (all are Proliant Gen 9)

Scripts>
Connect-HPEBIOS -IP 10.xx.xx.xx -Username $ILOUsername -Password $ILOPassword -Verbose:$false |Get-HPEBIOSSystemInfo |fl

IP         : 10.xx.xx.xx
Hostname   : ILONAME.fq.dn
Status     : Warning
StatusInfo : @{Category=PropertySupportability; Message=The property or properties listed in AffectedAttribute are not supported on the target server 
             ProLiant DL380 Gen9. For more details about supported properties, see the cmdlet help or the Troubleshooting chapter of BIOS Cmdlets user 
             guide.; AffectedAttribute=System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]}


Scripts>  $iLOBiosConnection  = Connect-HPEBIOS -IP 10.xx.xx.xx -Username $ILOUsername -Password $ILOPassword -Verbose:$false
Scripts> $iLOBiosConnection

ProcessorInfo                              : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2698 v4 @ 2.20GHz

And of course on some servers it's working great

Scripts> Connect-HPEBIOS -IP 10.xx.xx.yy -Username $ILOUsername -Password $ILOPassword -Verbose:$false |Get-HPEBIOSSystemInfo |fl

IP           : 10.xx.xx.yy
Hostname     : ilo2name.fq.dn
Status       : OK
ProductID    : 767032-B21
SerialNumber : CZJxxxx

Can some one help / explain ?

Thank you Reporting the issue,

We could not able to reproduce this issue in our Lab. Can you please provide us the HPEBIOSCmdlets version.

Hello,

I am using version HPEBIOSCmdlets 2.1.0.1

Again, what is really strange is that it is affecting only some of my servers.

Thanks for information, we couldnt able to reproduce the same in our Lab, Please share the followings to us via a private message by clicking here.

1. Install "HPEiLOCmdlets" and share the "Find-HPEiLO" cmdlet output.

2. Use any REST client like PostMan/Restlet clients, share us the JSON data for "https://10.x.x.x/rest/v1/systems/1/bios".

"Find-HPEiLO" does give back the good result (and it's much faster than the method I wanted to use as it does not requieres authentication.

Still do not understand why HPEBIOSSystemInfo does not give back the excpected result on some machines only.

Hi PhS,

As per error message, it looks like the SerialNumber and ProductNumber details are not supported on the target server.

Category=PropertySupportability; Message=The property or properties listed in AffectedAttribute are not supported on the target server 
             ProLiant DL380 Gen9.

In order to confrim this, I want to look at the JSON data for "https://10,x,x,x/rest/v1/systems/1/bios" URL. Please share it via mail.
