Executing XML via the iLO

[Scott Robertson_2]

I am running a cluster of 3 BL20p's using RedHat cluster manager on ES3 update 2.

I am trying to use the XML commands to power fence off each node to enable cluster manager to work.

The problem I am after fixing is I am not sure how to actually send the XML commands to the iLO cards on the machines. The only utilities I can find to do this are all windows executables which are obviously no use.

Thanks

These scripts can be used with the "HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility for Linux" to execute scripts locally on the system the iLO is present in, or commonly, in Linux Perl scripts can be used to make a remote HTTPS connection to iLO and pass the XML.
