CPQLODOS Recommended Usage

HP recommends using CPQLODOS /WRITE_XML=filename.ext to capture the current iLO settings. The output from the /WRITE_XML command should be used as a template for further CPQLODOS scripting.

For security reasons, the /WRITE_XML command does not output the passwords for current user accounts or the iLO Advanced Pack license key.

Edit the template file created with the /WRITE_XML parameter to reflect the desired configuration.

Use CPQLODOS /LOAD_XML=filename.ext to reset the iLO to its factory- default settings, then apply the settings in the XML scripts file.

CPQLODOS General Guidelines

An opening command opens a database. The database remains open until the matching closing command is sent. All changes made within a single command block are applied simultaneously when the database is closed. Any errors within the block cause the enclosed changes to be discarded.

An example of an opening command and its matching closing command are:

<USER_INFO> </USER_INFO>

In all examples, the opening and closing commands are displayed.

Command Line Arguments

All of the commands are grouped by functionality. All commands that manipulate user information are grouped together. Grouping commands allow the firmware to view the data to be manipulated as a block of information, similar to a text document, allowing for multithreaded access to the different kinds of information.

The following table lists the arguments recognized by CPQLODOS.
