Using Existing Groups - HP Integrated Lights-Out User Manual

Using Existing Groups

Many organizations will have their users and administrators arranged into
groups. In many cases, it is convenient to use the existing groups and associate
the groups with one or more Lights-Out Management role objects. When the
devices are associated with the role objects, the administrator controls access to
the Lights-Out devices associated with the role by adding or deleting members
from the groups.
Discover the LOM devices as management processors using
CPQLOCFG to send a RIBCL XML script file to a group of LOM
devices to manage those LOM devices. The LOM devices perform the
actions designated by the RIBCL file and send a response to the
CPQLOCFG log file. For more information, refer to the "Group
Administration and iLO Scripting (on page 241)" and the "Remote
Insight Command Language (on page 269)" sections.
CPQLODOS Utility
LOM devices can be configured for directory support before the associated
objects have been created in the directory. Administrators can use
CPQLOCFG and tools like the PERL script ("Using Perl with the XML
Scripting Interface" on page 255) ilodply.pl to configure many LOM devices.
LOM devices will not be able to complete a directory authentication until the
associated directory objects are created.
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. However, administrators must still configure
the devices manually, as described above, 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. The "Directory
Services Schema (on page 353)" section provides details on attributes and
attribute data formats when creating LOM objects.
