Query: Getting workload profile information in iLO 6

[icolgun1]

In the iLO 5 interface, we can see the workload profile information in the Performance tab. However, this seems to have been removed in iLO 6. How can I get this information without entering the BIOS?

Hello @icolgun1 ,

1. Click Performance in the navigation tree, and then click the Workload Advisor tab.
2. Review the details in the Server Workload section.

   If iLO was reset, information for the 10 min and 1 hr intervals will be available after the server has been powered on for 10 minutes or 1 hour.

   For more information, please refer to this link.

I only need the workload profile information. No need for details. While it is as follows in iLO 5, this information is not available in iLO 6.

Hi @icolgun1 ,

Please check for the workload profile information under the tab workload advisor on the Performance page.

Our device is licensed and  managed via Oneview. I have reviewed the documentation many times, but I think the Workload Profile information has been removed from the ilo 6 interface. If I connect to iLO via cli, is there a command that I can use to get this information?

Hello,

It is recommended to make all changes to the workload profile using the UEFI System Utilities (RBSU). It so appears that iLO does not allow to make such setting from that environment.

Can't I provide it via RESTful API as well?

Hello,

From the section "Performance management feature requirements" of the "UEFI System Utilities User Guide for HPE Compute Gen11 servers" indicates that the "Workload Profile" is an Intel processor specific feature. If the server in question has AMD processor, then this option will not be listed.

Our processor is Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinium 8462Y+

Hi.
For my configurationscript for new Servers/ILOs i use restapi to get and set the Workloadprofile for Gen11 servers. So the information is available thorugh the ilo restapi in the following URL (Bios Settings)
/redfish/v1/systems/1/bios/settings
its under Attributes -> WorkloadProfile
for more documentation of the restapi url
https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/docs/redfishservices/ilos/ilo6/ilo6_166/ilo6_bios_resourcedefns166/#bios

Hope it helps
Best Regards
