HOW TO INSTALL:

  Install the HPONCFG component.
  After component installation, the binary executable will be placed in the
  program files under the directory %program files%\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\HPONCFG\.
  A shortcut for the HPONCFG graphical interface will be provided under
  "Start Menu > Programs > HPE System Tools > HPE Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility".

HOW TO USE :

  Invoke the HPE Lights-Out Online Configuration (HPONCFG) Command Line utility from
  the command line, using the Windows “cmd.exe” (available from START->Run->cmd).
  HPONCFG will display the usage information if it is executed without any command line
  parameters.

  Invoke the graphical interface of HPONCFG from
  "Start Menu > Programs > HPE System Tools > HPE Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility".
  The graphical interface provides basic subset of functionality that is provided by
  the command line utility.

  The HPONCFG command line utility reads an XML input file, formatted according
  to the rules of the RIBCL language, and produces a log file containing the
  requested output.

  Information about RIBCL language and HPONCFG is documented in 
    "iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line Guide", 
    "iLO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide" and
    "iLO 5 Scripting and Command Line Guide".

  A package containing various and comprehensive sample scripts is available for 
  download at the "Tools" section under "Resources" of:

  www.hpe.com/info/iLO

  Typical usage is to select a script that is similar to the desired functionality and
  modify it for the exact desired functionality. Note that, although no authentication
  to the iLO is required, the XML syntax requires that the USER_LOGIN
  and PASSWORD tags be present in the LOGIN tag, and that these fields contain data.
  Any data will be accepted in these fields.

  In order to successfully execute HPONCFG, the utility must be invoked as
  “Administrator” on Windows servers. An error message will be returned by HPONCFG 
  if the user does not possess sufficient privileges.
