cpqlocfg.exe issues

[whislar]

Hello,

I am using cpqlocfg.exe in a powershell script to gather ilo info from our server farm.

It works great, but I have run into an issue.

I am getting random text in the file created.  It happens randomly.  See below.

------------------------

<EVENT
SEVERITY="Critical"
CLASS="Network"
LAST_UPDATE="03/16/2013 08:47"
INITIAL_UPDATE="03/16/2013 08:47"
COUNT="1"
DESCRIPTION="Network Adapter Link Down (Slot 0, Port 4)"
/>
135

------------------------

There is random three digit text showing up outside of xml tags which causes xml errors.

This particular instance is has two of these entries and is iLo 3.

I am using v4 of cpqlocfg.exe.

Anyone ever seen this?

Apparently it is an anomoly as I do not see any replies.

I'm guessing it is due to amount of data being processed.  

With that said, I will be clearing all the IML logs.

Question, is the IML log the best placed to find alerts associated with the indicator lights on the front side of the servers?

I bet there aren't that many people using the lights out config util to get system info.  SNMP or WMI is probably more common for that kind of thing, but that's a guess.
