HP Scripting Toolkit 9.10 for Linux User Guide

You must then invoke the tool to load the contents of hba.ini input to the HBA NVRAM: hpqlarep
/l hba.ini.
Using HPONCFG
HP offers support for the iLO features available on ProLiant servers with the HPONCFG utility.
HPONCFG is an online configuration tool used to set up and reconfigure iLO without requiring a
reboot of the server operating system. The utility runs in a command-line mode and must be executed
from an operating system command line.
HPONCFG enables you to initially configure features exposed through the RBSU or iLO. This utility
is not intended for continued administration. CPQLOCFG should be used for ongoing administration
of user rights and network functionality on the server.
Observe the following requirements before using HPONCFG:
• The iLO Management Interface Driver must be loaded on the server. HPONCFG displays a
warning if the driver is not installed.
• HPONCFG requires minimum iLO firmware versions. To determine the minimum firmware
version required, see the HP Scripting Toolkit for Linux and Windows Support Matrix.
For more information, see the Remote Management website at http://www.hp.com/servers/

HPONCFG command-line syntax
hponcfg [-help][-?][-reset][-f filename][-l filename]
[-w filename][-get_hostinfo][-m firmwarelevel]
IMPORTANT: Because the -w argument does not capture certain types of information, such as
the administrator password, data files created with HPONCFG using the -w argument cannot then
be used as input files for HPONCFG, unless they are modified first.
HPONCFG command-line arguments
DescriptionCommand-line argument
These arguments display simple help messages.
-help or -?
This argument resets the iLO to factory defaults.
-reset
This argument sets the iLO configuration based on the
information in the XML input file named filename.
-f
filename
This argument logs replies to the text log file named
filename.
-l
filename
This argument writes the iLO configuration obtained from
the device to the XML output file named filename.
-w
filename
This argument returns the host server name and serial
number.
-get_hostinfo
This argument indicates to HPONCFG the minimum
firmware level that must be present in the management
-m
device to execute the RIBCL script. If the minimum level is
not met, HPONCFG returns an error without performing
any additional actions.
This argument causes HPONCFG to configure the server
for optimized mouse handling.
-mouse
