Configuring iLO 2 24
•
Firmware Maintenance CD-ROM—Download the component to create a bootable CD that contains
many firmware updates for ProLiant servers and options.
•
Scripting with CPQLOCFG—Download the CPQLOCFG component to get the network-based
scripting utility, CPQLOCFG. CPQLOCFG enables you to use RIBCL scripts that perform firmware
updates, iLO 2 configuration, and iLO 2 operations in bulk, securely over the network. Linux users
should consider reviewing the HP Lights-Out XML PERL Scripting Samples for Linux.
•
Scripting with HPONCFG—Download the HPONCFG component to get the host-based scripting
utility, HPONCFG. This utility enables you to use RIBCL scripts that perform firmware updates, Lights-
Out processor configuration and operations in bulk, from Administrator or root account access on
supported host operating systems.
•
HP Directories Support for Management Processors—-Download the HP Directories Support for
Management Processors executable file to get the directory support components. One of the
components, HPLOMIG, can be used to discover iLO, iLO 2, RILOE, and RILOE II processors, and
update their firmware. You do not have to use directory integration to take advantage of this
functionality.
