HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 Management Processor Scripting and Command Line Resource Guide

NOTE:

• If you are not using the command line to enter the user name and password, and are using

the XML file, you can use the double-quotes special character (“). However, if you use “ in

the password in the XML file, you must change the outside double quotes to single quotes, for

example: ‘admin”admin’.

• If you use CPQLOCFG or LOCFG, and enter the password on the command line with the -p

option, you cannot use the double-quotes special character (“). There are two other special

characters, the ampersand (&), and the less-than sign (<) that need to be treated differently.

To enter a password that uses either of these special characters requires the user to put

double-quotes around the password, for example: "admin&admin" or "admin<admin".

• If you use LOCFG and enter the password on the command line with the -i option, you do

not need double-quotes around the password, for example: admin&admin or admin<admin.

The password does not work with the double-quotes (“) if you use the -i option.

The -L and -V switches might or might not be set depending on IT administrator preferences.

• The -L switch defines where the log file is generated and what the file name is. 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.

Do not use the -L switch if you are launching from HP SIM.

NOTE: The output values might need to be modified to match the RIBCL syntax.

The -L switch cannot designate an output log file. A default log file named with the DNS

name or the IP address is created in the same directory where CPQLOCFG is launched.

• The optional -V switch turns on the verbose message return. The resulting log file contains all

commands sent to the Remote Insight board, all responses from the Remote Insight board, and

any errors. By default, only errors and responses from GET commands are logged without

this switch.

• The -t namevaluepairs switch substitutes variables (%variable%) in the input file with

values specified in namevaluepairs. Separate multiple namevaluepairs with a comma

(,).

For example:

<USER_INFO MODE="read">

<GET_ALL_USERS/>

</USER_INFO>

</LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

Using a command line enter:

Cpqlocfg -f filename -s serverip -t user=Admin,password=pass

If the parameter contains multiple words, you must enclose the phrase within double quotes

(""). Up to 25 variables are supported in an XML file. The maximum length of variable name

is 48 characters.

Web agent example:

<RIB_INFO MODE="write">

<MOD_SNMP_IM_SETTINGS>
