Mike 写了：I need to add the advance ILO license to 64 new blades.

Is there an automated way or script to do this?

The only way I have found is with the browser.

Jeroen 写了：Very simple via OA:

1. telnet or ssh to OA
2. use hponcfg like below

代码： 全选

HPONCFG ALL  << end_marker
<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
<LOGIN USER_LOGIN="Dontcare" PASSWORD="UsingAutologin">
<RIB_INFO MODE="write">
<LICENSE>
  <ACTIVATE KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" /> 
  </LICENSE>
</RIB_INFO>
</LOGIN>
</RIBCL>
end_marker

XXXXXXX is of course your HP iLO Adv. License key.

Mike 写了：how does it know witch blade to install license on?

Since there are 16 blades per enclosure and each license is different would we still have to touch each blade?

Chad 写了： The "ALL" statement issues the license key on all blades.

You should see about getting an Electronic license to deploy the same key:

HP iLO Advanced for BladeSystem including 1yr 24x7 Support Electronic License TA851AAE

NOTE: Electronic licenses can be used to purchase multiple licenses with a single activation key


And if it is Insight Control, you can deploy them through SIM

Dan 写了：If you did get 16 licenses rather than 1, just replace “ALL” with “1” for Blade Slot 1 and then duplicate that code block 15 times with the only change in each block being the Bay Number in the HPONCFG line and the Code itself.

With a bunch of codes in Excel you could even use Word and Mail Merge to generate 1 long script per enclosure (I’ve done this myself for a rollout of 22 c7000s back in the day)
