hponcfg xml errors when attempting to disable IPMI

[billeverhart]

It's ILO version 2 and I get this error on both firmware 2.27 and 2.29

From the Lights Out XML scripting sample package it appears that command does not work with iLO2

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
   <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="adminname" PASSWORD="password">
      <RIB_INFO MODE="write">
         <MOD_GLOBAL_SETTINGS>
             <!--      iLO 4 - 1.20 or later.                       -->
              <!--      iLO 3 - 1.55 or later.                       -->
              <!--      iLO 2 - None.                                -->
            <IPMI_DCMI_OVER_LAN_ENABLED value="n"/>

So we can't using hponcfg with xml to make changes on ilo2 blades?

No, the element <IPMI_DCMI_OVER_LAN_ENABLED value="n"/> isn't supported on iLO2

[billeverhart]

That element was added to ilo2 in 2.23.  When I run the command on < 2.23 I see ipmi option not found, but when I update to 2.27 which should have ipmi, I get the xml_handler error. I got the same error on 2.27 when I tried to add an ilo user.

[billeverhart]

I can even see the option to disable ipmi in the ilo web interface, I just cant seem to disable it using xml.

[Jimmy Vance]

the example mod_global_settings is where it states no for iLO2, maybe old text before it was added in 2.23, or maybe the XML just doesn't work for that option on iLO2.  I have passed your error over to the iLO group.

I just used cpqlocfg.exe 4.21 to send the below script to my iLO2 2.29 and it worked.

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
 <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="adminname" PASSWORD="password">
  <RIB_INFO MODE="write">
   <MOD_GLOBAL_SETTINGS>
    <IPMI_DCMI_OVER_LAN_ENABLED value="n"/>

</RIBCL>

Could it be something with the hponcfg.exe tool you are using?

[billeverhart]

I'm using the hponcfg tool that's on the onboard administrator.

I'm seeing the exact same error on ilo4's as well:
