Introduction to Lights-Out migration utilities
For customers with previously installed management processors, HP created two utilities to simplify the
migration of these processors to management by directories. The two utilities are the HPQLOMIG utility
and the HPQLOMGC utility. These utilities automate some of the migration steps necessary for the
management processors to support Directory Services. The utilities:
Discover management processors in the network (HPQLOMIG only).
Upgrade the firmware on the management processors to the version that supports Directory Services
or schema-free directories.
Name the management processors to identify them in the directory.
Create objects in the directory corresponding to each management processor and associate them to
a role.
Configure the management processors to enable them to communicate with the directory.
The HPQLOMIG utility automates the process of migrating management processors by creating objects in
the directory corresponding to each management processor and associating them to a role. HPQLOMIG
has a GUI and provides the user with a wizard approach to implementing or upgrading large amounts of
management processors.
HPQLOMGC is a command line utility enabling you to migrate individual management processors. Used
in conjunction with Systems Insight Manager, HPQLOMGC upgrades the firmware of the management
processor, if necessary, configures the management processor, and configures the directory settings. It
also creates a device object in the directory using the name in the XML file or the network name,
depending on whether the user has selected this from the command line, then associates the device object
to a role. HPQLOMGC can also be launched by itself or from within a script (for example, a batch file or
Perl script).
Compatibility
HPQLOMIG and HPQLOMGC run on Microsoft® Windows® versions that support the Microsoft® .NET
Framework. The Microsoft® .NET Framework is required. Additional information and download of the
.NET framework can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/net/. Both utilities support the following
operating systems:
