Configuring the ILO more

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/24181.html

The HP Lights-Out management processors support an advanced scripting interface for group configuration and server actions. The scripting capability of the iLO provides an easy and efficient way to configure and maintain management processors in large scale IT environments, saving time and costs. The Lights-Out Configuration Utility can be used to configure iLO, RILOE II, and RILOE.

I had a request by email for examples of how to configure the HP ILO card, so I published below the options for the actual exe, with an example command, and above is the HP site with all the default xml scripts so you can adapt them for your use.
