Lights-Out migration utilities are easier to use with a single Lights-Out role. If you plan to create
o
multiple roles in the directory, you might need to use directory scripting utilities, like LDIFDE or VB
script, to create complex role associations. Refer to the "Using bulk import tools (on page 140)"
for more information.
If you have iLO or RILOE processors with old firmware, you might need to manually update the
o
firmware using a browser. Minimum firmware requirements for remote firmware update using
RIBCL and directory migration utility are:
LOM product
RILOE
When connected through the Diagnostics Port, the directory server is not available.
