also prefer the command-line approach. For more information, see

HP SIM utilities:
Manage multiple LOM devices. ◦
◦ Discover the LOM devices as management processors using CPQLOCFG to send a RIBCL
XML script file to a group of LOM devices to manage those LOM devices. The LOM
devices perform the actions designated by the RIBCL file and send a response to the
CPQLOCFG log file. For more information, see the HP Integrated Lights-Out Management

Traditional import utilities
Administrators familiar with tools such as LDIFDE or the NDS Import/Export Wizard can use
these utilities to import or create many LOM device objects in the directory. However,
administrators must still configure the devices manually, as described previously, but can do
so at any time. Programmatic or scripting interfaces can also be used to create the LOM device
objects in the same way as users or other objects. For details on attributes and attribute data
formats when creating LOM objects, see
“Directory services schema” (page 171) .
HPLOMIG directory migration utility
Introduction to HPLOMIG utility
The HPLOMIG utility is for customers with previously installed management processors who want
to simplify the migration of these processors to management by directories. HPLOMIG automates
some of the migration steps necessary for the management processors to support Directory Services.
HPLOMIG
can do the following:
•
Discover management processors on the network.
•
Upgrade the management processor firmware to the version that supports Directory Services
or schema-free directories.
•
Name the management processors to identify them in the directory.
•
Create objects in the directory corresponding to each management processor and associate
them to a role.
•
Configure the management processors to enable them to communicate with the directory.
