Issues with the XML interface for RX-series

asnowden · ‎02-12-2015

Is there anything special that needs to be done to communicate with the ribcl interface of HP iLO v2 on the RX series servers? We've got a set of perl scripts that use a SSL socket to communication via XML to iLO for the purposes of monitoring. These scripts work perfectly fine on the DL series but don't get a responce from the RX series.

I attempted to use curl to see what sort of return I was getting but I only see a error message about a cookie:

curl --insecure --data '<LOCFG version="2.21"/><RIBCL VERSION="2.0"><LOGIN USER_LOGIN="Admin" PASSWORD = "Admin"></RIBCL></LOCFG>' https://x.x.x.x/ribcl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Here's a sniplet of the code being used:

$client = IO::Socket::SSL->new(
            PeerAddr => 'x.x.x.x',
            SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE,
            SSL_version => "SSLv3",
            Timeout => $timeout,
);

print $client "POST /ribcl HTTP/1.1 \r\n HOST: localhost \r\n Content-length: 30 \r\n Connection: Close \r\n <RIBCL VERSION='2.0'></RIBCL> \r\n";

This hangs forever waiting for a responce, would love any feedback we could get

Did you get a response for this issue?

I am getting the same error when I use the powershell iloCmdlets.

Re: HPiloCmdlets - Error in format/values returned from iLO.

Hi,

Our PowerShell iLO cmdlets (including BIOS and OA) only supported on HPE Proliant Servers but in your message i see your server is RX 2800 i4 which is Integrity servers which is not a supported platform.

Thanks,

Gokul"
