  • HPE PDU Powershell module

    Jan 4, 2019 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) api hardware module pdu powershell rest

    As a follow-up of my exploration of the [HPE PDU REST API](/2018/11/19/exploring-the-hpe-g2-pdu-rest-api/) I wanted to create a Powershell module as a wrapper for the API. I've previously written a post on how to create a Powershell module as a wrapper for an API [here](/2018/01/31/creating-a-powershell-module-as-an-api-wrapper/). The PDU module will be built in the same way where there will be a private function that handles the actual API requests

  • Exploring the HPE G2 PDU REST API

    Nov 19, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 7, 2019) api pdu redfish rest hardware

    Lately I've been playing around with the Redfish based REST API in the HPE G2 Metered and Switched Power Distribution Units. Through the API you are able to pull some details about the PDU as well as different utilization data. Based on your PDUs capabilities you should also be able to control different outlets. My …

  • Automate disabling of IPMI over LAN access on HPE iLO

    Nov 14, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) hardware powershell ilo ipmi ribcl

    This article will describe how you can disable the IPMI over LAN access on HPE iLO. The IPMI protocol can present a security vulnerability where the authentication process for IPMI requires a server to send a hash of a user password to the client before authentication. This is not a new vulnerability and since this is …

  • Industrialising remote offices with VMware vSAN

    Oct 26, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) branchoffice hardware remoteoffice vsan

    Recently we received lots of new hardware destined for a customer that has multiple locations world-wide. They need a robust server solution for their production environments locally. The environment is small in terms of number of VMs, but there is high demands on the environment and we need local hardware at the sites …

  • HPE iLO affects ESXi management agents - hosts in "not responding"

    Aug 27, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) bug hardware oneview vcenter

    The last months we have had several issues with ESXi hosts going in a "Not responding" status. The VMs are still active and online in this scenario, but the ESXi cannot be managed. This also affets backup as it won't be able to reach the VMs through the APIs. Previously we have normally just restarted the …

  • Customizing ESXi installation with kickstart files and PXE boot

    Jun 9, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) esxi pxe deployment hardware

    This blog post will be building on a previous post where I built a small PXE server environment for ESXi installation. In this post we will enhance the PXE install with customized kickstart files specific for the hardware we want to install. There's two new components to discuss here. The kickstart file (ks.cfg) it …

  • Building a PXE boot environment for ESXi

    Mar 27, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) pxe deployment esxi hardware

    In our environment we run ESXi primarily on HPE Proliant servers. We use OneView for managing the hardware it self (i.e. monitoring, firmware), but for provisioning ESXi to the servers we have been doing some of it manually and some of it with HPE Insight Control Server Provisioning (ICsp). When preparing for …

  • Automating iLO config and OneView setup for HPE servers

    Mar 21, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) bladechassis hardware firmware oneview powershell oa

    We have quite a few Blade Enclosures with BL460c server blades in them and have been happy with those. For managing these we are primarly using HPE OneView and in some cases the Onboard Administrator (OA). Our latest batch of new hardware however was DL360 and DL380 rack servers. These will also be managed by OneView …

  • HPE OneView 4 - First look

    Jan 18, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) oneview hardware

    HPE released it's 4th version of their OneView management appliance late in December. While version 3 was a great deal better than v2 and v1 I have some expectations on this release as well. I think all versions have had value and the new features and functionalities presented has been for the better. Still it wasn't …
