Download the HP SmartStart Scripting Toolkit from here:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/core-management-100.html

It includes a utility with that you can remotely control and configure iLO boards.

Sorry, that was the wrong download page ...

You need the HP lights-Out configuration utility from e.g. here:

Hi Preez,

       Does it Require re-boot of theESXi Server ?

Thanks

Yes it is required to boot so that it can take the effect

One Platform for All OS

No! The tool connects directly to the iLO-boards and does not interfere with ESXi at all.

So, a reboot of the host is not required. Even an iLO reset is not required, because you only want to change passwords of iLO users.

You need to feed XML scripts to cpqlocfg.exe.

The syntax of these scripts is described in the HP ProLiant Integrated Lights-Out 3 v1.20 Scripting and Command Line Guide (page 49ff.).
