HP Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell manual Input2.csv Server 192.168.1.1

CSV input file:

Input2.csv: Server 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.3

If the input CSV file has only iLO IP or hostname and there is a common username and password for logging in, and if all the servers have to be switched on, the following script could be used.

PowerShell script:

$path = ".\input2.csv" $csv = Import-Csv $path

$rt = Set-HPiLOHostPower -Server $csv.Server -Username "admin" ` -Password "admin123" -HostPower "Yes"

$rt Format-List

$rt = Get-HPiLOHostPower -Server $csv.Server -Username "admin" ` -Password "admin123"

$rt Format-List

The preceding example imports into $csv and then uses the multiple server array to power on all servers included in the CSV file. The same username, password, and power setting are used for both iLOs. The output is the same as the previous command.

A similar command to power off could also be entered at the PowerShell prompt as follows:

PS C:\Users\yourname> Set-HPiLOHostPower -Server @(“192.168.1.1”,” 192.168.1.3”) -Username “admin” -Password “admin123” -HostPower No

If different usernames and passwords are used, then the following command could be used:

PS C:\Users\yourname> Set-HPiLOHostPower -Server @(“192.168.1.1”,” 192.168.1.3”) -Username @(“admin1”,”admin2”) -Password @(“password111”,”password222”) -HostPower No

You could also use the imported server list and have the cmdlet prompt for the needed parameters as in the following script.

PowerShell script:

$path = ".\input2.csv" $csv = Import-Csv $path

$rt = Set-HPiLOHostPower -Server $csv.Server $rt Format-List

$rt = Get-HPiLOHostPower -Server $csv.Server -Username "admin" -Password "admin123" $rt Format-List

Script output:
