iLO 2 Scripting and Command Line Guide

STATUS="0x0001"

MSG="There has been a severe error."

• RESPONSE

This tag name indicates that the iLO 2 is sending a response to the previous commands back

to the client application to indicate the success or failure of the commands that have been sent

to the iLO 2.

• STATUS

This parameter contains an error number. The number 0x0000 indicates that there is no error.

• MSG

This element contains a message describing the error that happened. If no error occurred, the

message No error appears.

RIBCL

This command is used to start and end an RIBCL session. You can use it only once to start an RIBCL

session, and it must be the first command to display in the script. The RIBCL tags are required to

mark the beginning and the end of the RIBCL document.

Example:

</RIBCL>

RIBCL parameters

VERSION is a string that indicates the version of the RIBCL that the client application is expecting

to use. The VERSION string is compared to the version of the RIBCL that is expected, and an error

is returned if the string and the version do not match. The preferred value for the VERSION parameter

is "2.0." The VERSION parameter is no longer checked for an exact match; however, this parameter

can never be blank.

RIBCL runtime errors

A possible RIBCL error message is:

Version must not be blank.

The LOGIN command provides the information that is used to authenticate the user whose permission

level will be used when performing RIBCL actions. The specified user must have a valid account

on the respective iLO 2 to execute RIBCL commands. The user's privileges are checked against the

required privilege for a particular command, and an error is returned if the privilege level does

not match.

Example:

</LOGIN>

Alternatively, the CPQLOCFG utility can specify the login information as parameters on its command

line:

cpqlocfg -u <username> -p <password>

When using this format, the utility returns an Overriding credentials warning message but

still shows the error log message entry as Login name must not be blank.
