Performing inventory on an iLO Federation group

HP SUM supports performing an inventory on an iLO Federation group if no baseline is assigned to the group. Use this feature if you are deploying updates in offline mode. If you perform an inventory with no assigned baseline, HP SUM does not generate the Deploy preview, Failed Dependency details, or Combined reports.

  1. From the iLO Federated Update screen, select an iLO Federation group, and then select Actions → Inventory.

  2. HP SUM opens the Inventory page and displays the iLO Federation Group Name.

  3. In Interface iLO, select Enter an iLO manually by IP or DNS or Select from discovered list of member iLO IPs.

    If the group or the interface iLO are no longer on the network, HP SUM displays a status message indicating that the group or interface iLO is not available.


    [IMPORTANT: ]

    IMPORTANT: Do not select an interface iLO that has been added as an individual node.


  4. Do one of the following:

    • If you selected Select from discovered list of member iLO IPs, select an iLO IP address.

    • If you selected Enter an iLO manually by IP or DNS, enter the iLO IP or DNS address of the iLO you want to use.

  5. In the Credentials section, enter the Username and Password for the interface iLO.

  6. In the Baseline to Apply section, select a Baseline or Additional Package from the Baseline Library.

    If you assigned a baseline or additional package by editing the group or performing inventory on the group, those values are entered automatically.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: Optional if you are deploying updates to the iLO Federation group in offline mode.


  7. Click Inventory.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: If you are deploying updates to an iLO Federation group in offline mode, you cannot use the ISO file that includes updates to perform the inventory on the iLO Federation group. Unpack the ISO file on a drive, add it as a baseline, and then use it to perform the inventory.
