Lights-Out Configuration Utility

The Lights-Out Configuration Utility (CPQLOCFG.EXE) is a Windows®-based utility that connects to iLO using a secure connection over the network. RIBCL scripts are passed to iLO over the secure connection to CPQLOCFG. This utility requires a valid user ID and password with the appropriate privileges. The CPQLOCFG utility can be launched from Insight Manager 7 or Systems Insight Manager for Group Administration or used independently from a command prompt for batch processing. This utility can be downloaded from the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/index.html).

Version 2.20 or later of CPQLOCFG.EXE is required to configure iLO Directory Settings using RIBCL scripts.

Insight Manager 7 and System Insight Manager discover iLO devices as management processors. The Lights-Out Configuration Utility sends a RIBCL file to a group of iLO processors to manage the user accounts for those iLO processors. iLO processors then perform the action designated by the RIBCL file and send a response to the log file.

The Lights-Out Configuration Utility is used to execute RIBCL scripts on iLO and must reside on the same server as Insight Manager 7 or Systems Insight Manager. The Lights-Out Configuration Utility generates two types of error messages: runtime and syntax.

Runtime errors occur when an invalid action is requested. Runtime errors are logged to the following directories:
