Using snmp get against Riloes?

[Brent Ingler]

Has anyone done an snmpget against Riloes or iLOs? I know how to get the OS from a system running the management agents, but I want to know if there's a way to pull the info from the boards so that I can determine whether something's a RiloeI, RiloeII, or iLO. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

By default SNMP requests sent to iLOs and Riloes are passed through to the host system. If pass thru is disabled the requests are dropped.

To get information from the card you can issue the following http request

http://riloeip:80/xmldata?item=All

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, when I try that, I get the following page. Any other ideas?



The XML page cannot be displayed

No, you need to verify your iLO/Rilo SNMP /Insight Manager configuration is set to medium or high for the data returned.

This is the data returned from a RILOE II using the high setting.

You might try downloading MSXML3.MSI which is the latest version of the XML handler for the browser. Since you want to do this programmatically, what were you going to use? Perl would be a good way to make the HTTP connection and then you could parse the results for the PN tag.

RILOE/iLO don't run an SNMP stack on their own, just forward SNMP traffic from the host.

Maybe you're thinking of this backwards. Why not run a report of all your servers and whether or not they have iLO/RILOE in them?

I never wanted to gather data through HTTP, necessarily. I just need some way to programmatically determine if a board is a RILOE I, RILOE II, or iLO. I suppose I could try the report through HPSIM. I'll give that a shot and let you know. Thanks for the suggestion.

Using the reporting tool in HPSIM gave me what I wanted, for the most part, so thanks for the help.
