Have a lot of HP servers with ILO cards, and want to gather information from them quicly? By default you can get some information in XML format, for ILO, ILO2, ILO3 and ILO4, with curl. You don't have to log in via SSH, and can script it/loop it.

Recently I removed all Google Ads from this site due to their invasive tracking, as well as Google Analytics. Please, if you found this content useful, consider a small donation using any of the options below:

I'm developing an open source monitoring app called Leaf Node Monitoring, for windows, linux & android. Go check it out!

Consider sponsoring me on Github. It means the world to me if you show your appreciation and you'll help pay the server costs.

You can also sponsor me by getting a Digital Ocean VPS. With this referral link you'll get $200 credit for 60 days. Spend $25 after your credit expires and I'll get $25!

On the command line, make sure you're in the right VLAN/management network (replace the IP with your ILO IP) :

curl http://10.2.76.22/xmldata?item=All

For https:

curl -k https://10.2.76.22/xmldata?item=All

Example response:

<?xml version="1.0"?><RIMP><HSI><SBSN>CZCxxxx </SBSN><SPN>ProLiant DL380 G5</SPN><UUID>xxxxxxxx</UUID><SP>1</SP><cUUID>0000-0000-0000-0000</cUUID><VIRTUAL><STATE>Inactive</STATE><VID><BSN></BSN><cUUID></cUUID></VID></VIRTUAL></HSI><MP><ST>1</ST><PN>Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2)</PN><FWRI>2.02</FWRI><BBLK>3; Jul 11 2004</BBLK><HWRI>ASIC:  7</HWRI><SN>00xx00xx00xx      </SN><UUID>ILO000xxx000</UUID><IPM>1</IPM><SSO>0</SSO><PWRM>3.4</PWRM></MP></RIMP>

A quick tip, to know the ILO version look at the HWRI>ASIC: value:

• ASIC 2 = ILO 1
• ASIC 7 = ILO 2
• ASIC 16 = ILO 4

With curl you can loop as well:

curl http://10.2.76.[1-120]/xmldata?item=All

Also, here is a script to find all the ILO's on your network: http://blog.nachotech.com/?p=63
