##Overview

hpilo configures Hewlett-Packard's iLO card by creating ilosettings.xml and then using the HP application hponcfg to load the settings file to the iLO.

Integrated Lights-Out, or iLO, is an embedded server management technology exclusive to Hewlett-Packard but similar in functionality to the Lights out management (LOM) technology of other vendors, for example Sun/Oracle's ILOM, Dell DRAC and the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter.

Tested with Puppet 3.2+.

##Module Description

hpilo can setup iLO to use dhcp, user-selected static IP, or assign a static IP automatically based on the system's IP.

##Setup

###What hpilo affects

  • creates/modifies /etc/ilosettings.xml and /tmp/ilosettings.log
  • installs /sbin/hponcfg from HP Proliant support repo.

###Setup Requirements

You will need the repo from http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/ The hpilo module will install hponcfg from this repo.

###Beginning with hpilo

class {'hpilo':  }

##Usage

You can easily configure many parameters of iLo.

For DHCP:

class { 'hpilo': 
  dhcp => true,
  ilouser => 'admin',
  ilouserpass => 'password'
}

For static:

class { 'hpilo':
  dns => '192.168.1.1',
  gw => '192.168.1.1',
  ip => '192.168.1.10',
  netmask => '255.255.255.0',
  shared => true,
  ilouser => 'admin',
  ilouserpass => 'password',
}

For autoip (Take $::ipaddress fact and sub 3rd octet with hpilo::ilonet value, fx if ipaddress of system is 192.168.2.10 ilo will get 192.168.3.10:

class { 'hpilo':
  autoip => true,
  ilonet => '3',
  shared => true,
  ilouser => 'admin',
  ilouserpass => 'password',
}     

To configure with yaml in hiera for Puppet 3:

hpilo::autoip: false
hpilo::dhcp: false
hpilo::dns: '192.168.1.1'
hpilo::gw: '192.168.1.1'
hpilo::gwbit: '240'
hpilo::ilonet: '3'
hpilo::ilouser: 'admin'
hpilo::ilouserpass: 'password'
hpilo::ip: '192.168.1.2'
hpilo::logfile: '/tmp/ilosettings.log'
hpilo::netmask: '255.255.255.0'
hpilo::settingsfile : '/etc/ilosettings.xml'
hpilo::shared: true

##Reference

##Limitations If you modify network settings but not the user after the initial run, hponcfg will return an error exit code for trying to create a user that already exists, but will still apply the new network settings.

##Similar Modules If you like this module, I have built a similar module that is generic and manages the IMPI device and IPMI user and doesn't depend on hp tools. BMClib
