HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line Guide

2 HPQLOCFG usage
The HPQLOCFG.EXE utility is a Windows-based utility that connects to iLO using a secure connection
over the network. RIBCL scripts are passed to iLO over the secure connection to HPQLOCFG. This
utility requires a valid user ID and password with the appropriate privileges. Launch the HPQLOCFG
utility from HP SIM for Group Administration, or launch it independently from a command prompt
for batch processing.
Download this utility from the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/support/ilo3.
Version 1.0 or later of HPQLOCFG is required to support all features of iLO 3 v1.60.
HP SIM discovers iLO devices as management processors. HPQLOCFG sends a RIBCL file to a
group of iLO devices to manage the user accounts for those iLO devices. The iLO devices then
perform the action designated by the RIBCL file and send a response to the log file.
Use HPQLOCFG to execute RIBCL scripts on iLO. HPQLOCFG must reside on the same server as
HP SIM. HPQLOCFG generates two types of error messages; runtime errors, and syntax errors.
• Runtime errors occur when an invalid action is requested. Runtime errors are logged to the
following directory:
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\
• Syntax errors occur when an invalid XML tag is encountered. When a syntax error occurs,
HPQLOCFG stops running and logs the error in the runtime script and output log file. Syntax
errors use the following format:
Syntax error: expected X but found Y.
For example:
Syntax error: expected USER_LOGIN=userlogin
but found USER_NAME=username
Configuring for unauthenticated XML queries
If configured to do so, the iLO device returns identifying information in response to an
unauthenticated XML query. By default, the iLO device is configured to return this information.
To disable this feature, set the CIM_SECURITY_MASK in the MOD_SNMP_IM_SETTINGS command
to disable unauthenticated XML query return information.
You can also disable the unauthenticated XML query information through the iLO web interface:
1. Go to Administration→Management.
The Management page appears.
2. Under the Insight Management Integration heading, click the menu for the Level of Data
Returned option.
There are two options in the menu:
• 1) Enabled (iLO+Server Association Data)
• 2) Disabled (No Response to Request)
3. Select 2) Disabled (No Response to Request) to disable unauthenticated XML query return
information
NOTE: You must have unauthenticated XML query enabled if you are performing device discoveries
with HP SIM.
To obtain unauthenticated identifying information, enter the following command to the iLO web
server port:
