Batch processing using the Lights-Out Configuration Utility
Group Administration can also be delivered to RILOE II through batch processing. The components used
by batch processing are the Lights-Out Configuration Utility, an RIBCL file, and a batch file.
The following example shows a sample batch file that can be used to perform the Group Administration
for RILOE II:
REM Updating the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II board
REM Repeat line for each board to be updated
REM
CPQLOCFG -S RIB1 -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L RIB1LOG.TXT -V
CPQLOCFG -S RIB2 -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L RIB2LOG.TXT -V
CPQLOCFG -S RIB3 -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L RIB3LOG.TXT -V
.
.
.
RIBNLOG -S RIBN -F C:\...SCRIPT.XML -L LOGFILE.TXT -V
The Lights-Out Configuration Utility overwrites any existing log files.
Lights-Out Configuration Utility parameters
• -S is the switch that determines the RILOE II that is to be updated. This switch is either the DNS name
or IP address of the target server.
Do not use this switch if you are launching from Systems Insight Manager. Systems Insight Manager
will provide the address of the RILOE II when CPQLOCFG.EXE is launched.
• -F is the switch that gives the full path location and name of the RIBCL file that contains the actions to
be performed on the board.
• -U and -P specify the user login name and password. These options allow the login information
within the script file to be overridden and allows the login information to be left out of the script.
Be sure that the Lights-Out Configuration Utility is in a directory referenced by the PATH environment
variable. Any log files generated are placed in the same directory as the Lights-Out Configuration Utility
executable
The switches -L and -V might or might not be set depending on the IT administrator's preferences.
• -L is the switch that defines where the log file will be generated and what the file name will be. If this
switch is omitted, a default log file with the DNS name or the IP address is created in the same
directory used to launch CPQLOCFG.
