Connect-HPEBIOS : Failed for <IP_ADRESS>: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad R

[Moyotov]

Hi All,

I have just install the powershell module HPEBIOSCmdlets version 2.1.0.1, When running command Connect-HPEBIOS I get the error "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request", I have tried with several different
servers HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9, firmware version 2.61 and I am getting the same problem for all. I have checked all the prerequisites and all are met.

I am running out of ideas, could anyone help me out?

Thank you posting the issue.

It looks like the BIOS REST API is not installed properly. To confirm can you please try to access "https://<iLO_IP_ADDRESS>/rest/v1/systems/1/bios" url using any REST clients such postman, restlet clients.

Any updates on this???

Hi B_Rajesh,

Sorry for the late reply, indeed the problem was a bit silly, I was pointing to the management IP address instead to the ILO IP address.

Connect-HPEiLO $ILOIP -Credential $Cred -DisableCertificateAuthentication

Now using ILO adrress works as champ!

I had the same problem (hp ilo http error the remote server returned an error (400) bad request) connecting to iLO5 and all work fine when I installed HPE iLO Integrated Remote Console ver 1.3.3.

Happy iLOwing

Hi,

Are you still getting an error while connecting to iLO5 using the Connect-HPEBIOS cmdlet or is the issue resolved?

If the issue still persist then could you please enable logging using Enable-HPEBIOSLog and share the log file.

Regards,

Hema
