Using Bulk Import Tools

Adding and configuring large numbers of LOM objects is time consuming. HP
provides several utilities to assist in these tasks. Below is a brief description of
the utilities available.
Every LOM device that uses the directory service to authenticate and
authorize users must be configured with the appropriate directory settings.
Refer to "Configuring Directory Settings (on page 184)" for details on the
specific directory settings. In general, administrators configure each device
with the appropriate directory server address, LOM object distinguished
name, and any user contexts. The server address is either the IP address or
DNS name of a local directory server or, for more redundancy, a multi-host
DNS name.
HP Lights-Out Migration Utility
The HP Lights-Out Migration utility, HPQLOMIG.EXE, imports and
configures multiple LOM devices. HPQLOMIG.EXE 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 numerous management processors. For more information,
refer to the "Lights-Out Directories Migration Utilities (on page 205)"
section.
HP Lights-Out Migration Command Utility
The HP Lights-Out Migration Command utility, HPQLOMGC.EXE, offers a
command-line approach to migration, rather than a GUI-based approach.
This utility works in conjunction with the Application Launch and query
features of Insight Manager 7 to configure many devices at a time.
Customers that must configure only a few LOM devices to use directory
services might also prefer the command-line approach. For more
information, refer to the "Lights-Out Directories Migration Utilities (on page
205)" section.
Insight Manager 7 and Systems Insight Manager can:
Manage multiple LOM devices.
