Sample scripts
The sample script is used to control updating firmware on blades in an enclosure. This script
connects virtual media to each iLO in the enclosure. The script can either run the RIBCL script directly
or run a wrapper script containing the RIBCL script. The "for" loop at the bottom of this file contains
two lines, one of which has been commented out. Comment in or out the line for the desired mode
of operation.
After you have flashed the server blades, you can use the BB2.sh script to disconnect the Virtual
Media by passing it the Eject_Virtual_Media.xml file as the RIBCL script to execute or
Eject_Virtual_Media.sh
script based on the state of the commented out lines.
