HPiLOCmdlet iLO connection error

[sajmeister]

Hi, 

Am trying to connect to HP iLO uisng powershell cmdlets and keep getting this error message "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.".  I am using 1.5.0.1 HPiLOCmdlets version which can be used to manage/configure HPE Proliant Gen7/8/9 servers.  Don't know if this is the right version to use against HP iLO 2 on HP ProLiant ML350 G6 server which I am trying to connect to.  I have used the -DisableCertificationAuthentication switch without success.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi,

As far as I know, G5 and G6 servers had iLO 2.
G7 and Gen8 had iLO 3.
Gen9 iLO 4 and Gen10 iLO 5.

Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell (x64): iLO cmdlets

Supported Devices and Features:

Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell : iLO cmdlets supports iLO 3 and iLO 4 devices.

iLO Cmdlets provide a set of utilities that allow users to configure and manage iLO on HPE ProLiant Gen7, Gen8 or Gen9 servers.

Thank You!

Many thanks for your reply.  So ok how will I be able to connect to older HP iLO 2 using powershell cmdlets ?  Does HPE provide any cmdlets for that to allow me to connect to HP Proliant ML350 G6?  I am trying to automate powering server back up using MS Orchestrator runbook.

Hi,

cmdlet is only for iLO 3 and beyond.

Hi.  Am using HP Lights-Out Config Utility - HPQLOCFG v5.2.0.0 to connect to my iLO2 and I get an error : Failed to establish SSL connection with x.x.x.x.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hi,

You follow the steps documented here. This might fix your issue.

For more information on iLO2, you can refer this document 

Thank you!

Ok thanks.  When I click on the links I get the below message.

The service or information you requested is not available at this time. We apologize for this inconvenience and are working quickly to resolve this issue. Please try again later.(Error: [500: Internal Server Error])

Managed to get access to the doc now.  The iLO already had a cert installed and valid.  However I still get the error related to SSL connection.  Any ideas ?

[sajmeister]

Managed to apply a new certificate and still get the same issue about 'unable to establish a SSL connection'.  Any help please ?  Ran out of ideas.
