Issues with scripting boot via ILO

[Fredriks3]

Trying to create a script to boot multiple servers via ilo (multible versions of ilo) using the scriots bellow. But when I run it I get the following error:

IP Address is: server1-oob
SIO_connect failure.
9344:error:0200274C:system library:connect:reason(1868):.\crypto\sio\s_sock.c:606:host=server1-oob:443
9344:error:10065068::lib(16) :SIO_CONNECT:connect error:.\crypto\sio\s_sock.c:608:
CPQLOCFG.EXE: ERROR: SIO_connect:reason(10060).

What can cause this?

There is no valid ssl certificats on the ilo so there is allways a warning about this ehen conencting via a browser.

boot.bat

@echo off

set iLO_uN=root
set iLO_PW=rootpass
set iLO_XML=Set_Host_Power.xml
IF NOT EXIST .\LOGS MKDIR .\LOGS

for %%i in (
server1-oob
) do (

CPQLOCFG.EXE -s %%i -f %iLO_XML% -u %iLO_uN% -p %iLO_PW%
	
)

Set_Host_Power.xml

well SSL is the issue but how to owercome it? i dobt that manny people have valid ssl certificats for there ILO.

Using your batch file, I was able to turn an iLO4  system off and on.

I used cpqlocfg.exe version 4.00, and version 4 of the iLO XML scripting samples.

Apparently, CPQLOCFG.exe is failing to establish a TCP connection to iLO port 443.  See error Windows Socket error 10060 below:

WSAETIMEDOUT 10060

Connection timed out.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or the established connection failed because the connected host has failed to respond.

Are your iLOs configured to listen to a port other than 443 for HTTPS?

well the solution was fairly easy, I had put the script on a server that did not have acces to the ILO network
