How to configure iLO from command line (HPe)

Si nos encontramos que tenemos que reconfigurar la IP de la placa ILO (OOB para HP) y no tenemos acceso desde esa LAN por algun motivo, podemos:

Teniendo instalado «HP Lights-Out Online» incluído en el «Service Pack for ProLiant»

 

Goto C:\Program Files\HP\hponcfg> or %ProgramFile%\HP\hponcfg

 

Then type:

hponcfg /w ilo.xml

this dumps iLO configuration into ilo.xml file

<RIBCL VERSION=”2.0″>
<LOGIN USER_LOGIN=”user” PASSWORD=”password”>
<RIB_INFO MODE=”WRITE” >
<MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS>
<IP_ADDRESS VALUE = “x.x.x.x”/>
<SUBNET_MASK VALUE = “x.x.x.x”/>
<GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS VALUE = “x.x.x.x”/>
<PRIM_DNS_SERVER value = “x.x.x.x”/>
<DHCP_ENABLE VALUE = “N”/>
</MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS>
</RIB_INFO>
</LOGIN>
</RIBCL>

NOTE: The USER_LOGIN and PASSWORD tags are required, and must contain data, although any data is accepted.

 

Change IP related values and:

hponcfg /f ilo.xml

this writes new configuration back to the iLO and voilá.

 

Based on  Scripting Toolkit for Windows – Using HPONCFG also available on Linux.
