Copy the input file for simplicity to the same folder and use the following command, without the characters. Open up CMD and go to the installed directory, which by default is “ c:\Program Files \HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility”. Step 4: Retrieving info with “HPQLOCFG.EXE” In our example we’re going to use the command for retrieving license keys, which we found in the guide. Save the notepad as an xml file and give it a fitting name. Step 3: Create an xml input file for the tool to useīrowse to the section that you are interested in, and “copy-paste“ the code into a notepad. In our example we’re going to retrieve the ILO keys. With this guide you can found the command line for retrieving info like license keys or create new users for example. In case the link is changed in the future as well, search for “HPE ILO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide”.
The guide from HPE is quite useful and easy to use if you know how to use it. This tool works on ILO 2.41 (as Have I tested) till version 3 and 4, according to the website of HPE.
If you change it, make sure you note where you install it since you’ll need it later. exe will most probably installed by default into the folder “c:\Program Files \HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility”. It possible that the link will be changed in future, since this happends a lot on the HPE website, but a quick google search on “HPQLOFCG.EXE”, will probably help you as well. Quite handy skillset to have as an IT consultant 😉.įirst download the “Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG.EXE)” from the HPE server. So here a quick post, on how you can use the Command Line to connect and retrieve info from the ILO’s of HP servers.
This was also the case with one of my customers, from which we wanted to retrieve the license keys to reuse in other servers. Command line and scripting tools always have been a nice way to automate things or to retrieve valuable information that can’t be found in the GUI. Sometimes, you want to have more info then the GUI shows you, or you want to create or change configuration on loads of different servers, and clicking is not the fastest way.
