set ilo name without reboot

[Johan]

Hi All,

I'm currently changing the server name in the iLo of my devices.

I perform this with the hpasmcli command, but this change requires a reboot before it is activated.

Is there a way I can set (change) the server name in the iLo without rebooting the device?

Thx!

If you use the HPONCFG utility you can send this XML to iLO to change the server name in iLO

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
  <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="adminname" PASSWORD="password">
    <SERVER_INFO MODE="write">
 <SERVER_NAME value ="MyServerName"/>
    </SERVER_INFO>
  </LOGIN>
</RIBCL>

HPONCFG is a utility included in the SmartStart Scripting toolkit
