Scripted Setup
Scripts can initially configure an iLO system. The configuration scripts are text files written in a style of XML called RIBCL. You can use RIBCL scripts to configure iLO on the network, during initial deployment, or from an already deployed host. RIBCL is sent across the network in a script file. iLO scripting enables you to configure User Administration, Global Settings, Network Settings, SNMP/Insight Manager Settings, Upgrade iLO Firmware, Licensing, and ProLiant BL
