Overview of the Lights-Out DOS Utility

CPQLODOS is a command line utility that is a part of the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. It is intended to be an initial configuration program to set up only those iLO settings necessary to allow one of the other full-featured configuration methods. Because of this limited usage model, it processes only a small subset of the iLO scripting language.

CPQLODOS is a DOS-only tool that requires MS-DOS® 6.22. CPQLODOS can also be executed from a DOS-bootable diskette or a PXE diskette image as part of the SmartStart Scripting Tool kit. Lights-Out scripting is not supported on Linux operating systems or when using the Novell NetWare Client. This utility does not require a user ID or password because it is executed locally.

CPQLODOS enables you to configure features exposed through F8 startup or the GUI. CPQLODOS processes an XML file with the configuration settings to the iLO in the server on which CPQLODOS is executing. The RIBCL should be used to administer user rights and network functionality on the server.

CPQLODOS is primarily a reconfiguration tool. Any existing configuration will be removed. This utility is not intended for continued administration.
