hponcfg - Configure iLO IP and Password from Linux

Make sure hponcfg already installed.

To configure iLO need to prepare a XML script (i.e: ilo-ip-setting.xml) as below,

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">

 <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="xxx" PASSWORD="xxx">

 <RIB_INFO MODE="WRITE" >

 <MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS>

 <IP_ADDRESS VALUE = "10.10.10.10"/>

 <SUBNET_MASK VALUE = "255.255.255.0"/>

 <GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS VALUE = "10.10.10.1"/>

 <PRIM_DNS_SERVER value = "0.0.0.0"/>

 <DHCP_ENABLE VALUE = "N"/>

 </MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS>

 </RIB_INFO>

 </LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

Set IP via hponcfg.
[root@mylnx]# /sbin/hponcfg -f ilo-ip-setting.xml

Firmware Revision = 1.78 Device type = iLO 2 Driver name = hpilo
<INFORM>Integrated Lights-Out will reset at the end of the script.</INFORM>

Please wait while the firmware is reset. This might take a minute
Script succeeded

To set a password, prepare a XML file something like below,

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
  <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="xxx" PASSWORD="xxx">
  <USER_INFO MODE="write">
    <MOD_USER USER_LOGIN="Administrator">
      <PASSWORD value="pa$$word"/>
    </MOD_USER>
  </USER_INFO>
  </LOGIN>

</RIBCL>
Note: the <LOGIN> element must be there, but could be anything such above example.

To get current configuration,
[root@mylnx]# /sbin/hponcfg -w myilo.xml
