Query: iLO5 how long does it take to generete the CertificateSigningRequest

[Adis_S]

Is there any time time limit how fast or how long does it take to generate the CertificateSigningRequest?

When using PowerShell and the Get-HPEiLOCertificateSigningRequest (from PowerShell Module HPEiLOCmdlets )if I wait 20 sec, in most time the CSR is generated and can be saved, but sometimes the output is just empty.

Questions:
- Did someone have idea how to check if CSR is created correctly?
- And are there any PowerShell Module HPEiLOCmdlets global options for logging like with OneView PowerShell module?

#Enable logging feature
[HPEOneView.Config]::EnableVerbose = $true
[HPEOneView.Config]::EnableDebug = $true

Hi,

Thank you for the POST.

Usually it happens in few seconds and wouldnt take more time.

Once the steps to follow the CSR are followed, it would be correct, unless if Certificate-Signing Requests Or the Create Self-Signed Certificate Functions to Fail this may be due to OneView version.

Try updating to the latest available if its of lesser version. Share the Screenshots / error messages if available.

Regarding the second query, refer the link and check if that helps : https://developer.hpe.com/blog/powershell-defined-infrastructure#:~:text=On%20that%20trend%2C%20HPE%20provides,to%20interact%20with%20HPE%20OneView.

Well, it does take few more seconds. We tested with 20s and we have Problem that the CSR was still not generated. With 40s we get in our test all CSR generated, so we will use 40s as the wait value till we check if CSR is generated.
