HPONCFG utility

The HPONFCG utility only supports HP ProLiant 300/500/700/900 Server series, 100 Series

Gen8 servers, and HP ProLiant BL Servers that are listed in the vSphere Server Support Matrix. To

visit the vSphere Server Matrix page, go to www.hp.com/go/vmware and select Certified ProLiants

under Tools/Resource section.

HP offers support for the iLO 2, iLO 3 and iLO 4 features available on ProLiant servers with the

HPONCFG utility.

HPONCFG is an online configuration tool used to set up and reconfigure iLO 2, iLO3 and iLO 4

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.

Observe the following requirements before using HPONCFG:

• The iLO 2, iLO 3 or iLO 4 Management Interface Driver must be loaded on the server. HPONCFG

displays a warning if the driver is not installed.

• HPONCFG requires minimum iLO 2, iLO 3 and iLO 4 firmware versions. To determine the

minimum firmware version required, see the HP SmartStart Scripting Toolkit Linux and Windows

Editions Support Matrix.

For more information, see the Remote Management website:http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out

HPONCFG command-line syntax

Use the following format at the command line:

hponcfg -f filename [-l filename] [-v] [-m minFw] -g [-m minFw] -w

filename [-m minFw] -r [-m minFw ] -h -?

The HPONCFG utility can be accessed from the location: /opt/hp/tools.

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.
