Using HPONCFG

The HPONFCG utility only supports HP ProLiant 300/500/700 and Blade servers.
HP offers support for the RILOE II, iLO, iLO 2, and iLO 3 features available on ProLiant servers with the
HPONCFG utility.
HPONCFG is an online configuration tool used to set up and reconfigure RILOE II, iLO, iLO 2, and iLO3

without requiring a reboot of the server operating system. The utility runs in a command-line mode and
must be executed from an operating system command-line.
HPONCFG enables you to initially configure features exposed through the RBSU or the RILOE II, iLO, iLO
2, or iLO3. This utility is not intended for continued administration. CPQLOCFG should be used for
ongoing administration of user rights and network functionality on the server.
Observe the following requirements before using HPONCFG:

The RILOE II, iLO, iLO 2, or iLO 3 Management Interface Driver must be loaded on the server.

HPONCFG displays a warning if the driver is not installed.

HPONCFG requires minimum RILOE II, iLO,iLO 2, and iLO 3 firmware versions. To determine the

minimum firmware version required, see the HP SmartStart Scripting Toolkit Linux and Windows
Editions Support Matrix.

For more information, see the Remote Management website (

).

HPONCFG command-line syntax

hponcfg [-help][-?][-reset][-f filename][-l filename]

[-w filename][-get_hostinfo][-m firmwarelevel]

IMPORTANT:

Because the -w argument does not capture certain types of information, such as

the administrator password, data files created with HPONCFG using the -w argument cannot
then be used as input files for HPONCFG, unless they are modified first.
