HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 - Manual (Page 286)

Using bulk import tools
Adding and configuring large numbers of LOM objects is time consuming. HP provides several
utilities to assist with these tasks.
•
HP Lights-Out Migration utility
The HP Lights-Out Migration utility imports and configures multiple LOM devices. It includes
a GUI that provides a step-by-step approach to implementing or upgrading large numbers of
management processors. HP recommends using this GUI method when upgrading several
management processors. For more information, see
“Using HP Directories Support for ProLiant
Management Processors” (page 287) .
•
HP SIM utilities
The HP SIM utilities enable you to perform the following tasks:
◦ Manage multiple LOM devices.
◦ Discover the LOM devices as management processors by using HPQLOCFG to send a
RIBCL XML script file to a group of LOM devices. The LOM devices perform the actions
designated by the RIBCL file and send a response to the HPQLOCFG log file. For more
information, see the HP iLO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide.
•
Traditional import utilities
Administrators familiar with tools such as LDIFDE or the NDS Import/Export Wizard can use
these utilities to import or create many LOM device objects in the directory. Administrators
must still configure the devices manually, as described earlier, but can do so at any time.
Programmatic or scripting interfaces can also be used to create the LOM device objects in
the same way as users or other objects. For information about attributes and attribute data
formats when you are creating LOM objects, see
“Directory services schema” (page 339) .

The HP Directories Support for ProLiant Management Processors utility (HPLOMIG.exe) is for
customers who installed management processors and want to simplify the migration of these
processors to management by directories. The utility automates some of the migration steps necessary
for the management processors to support directory services. The utility can do the following:
•
Discover management processors on the network.
•
Upgrade the management processor firmware.
•
Name the management processors to identify them in the directory.
•
Create objects in the directory that correspond to each management processor, and associate
them with a role.
•
Configure the management processors to enable them to communicate with the directory.
