Batch Processing Using the Lights-Out

Configuration Utility

Group Administration can also be delivered to iLO through batch processing. The components used by batch processing are the Lights-Out Configuration Utility, an RIBCL file, and a batch file.

The following example shows a sample batch file that can be used to perform the Group Administration for iLO:

REM Updating the Integrated Lights-Out board REM Repeat line for each board to be updated

REM

CPQLOCFG -S RIB1 -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L RIB1LOG.TXT -V CPQLOCFG -S RIB2 -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L RIB2LOG.TXT -V CPQLOCFG -S RIB3 -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L RIB3LOG.TXT -V

.

.

.

RIBNLOG -S RIBN -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L LOGFILE.TXT -V

The Lights-Out Configuration Utility overwrites any existing log files.

Lights-Out Configuration Utility Parameters

•-S is the switch that determines the iLO that is to be updated. This switch is either the DNS name or IP address of the target server.

Do not use this switch if you are launching from Insight Manager 7 or Systems Insight Manager. Insight Manager 7 and Systems Insight Manager will provide the address of the iLO when CPQLOCFG.EXE is launched.
