Transfer from IPMI/iLO Settings

Hi,

in vSphere Client the tab "Hardware Status->Baseboard Management Controller->Management Controller IP" contains the data for iLO settings IP and MAC address. How can I transfer this data to "Configuration->Software->Power Management" by the simplest way for 180 hosts?

Thanks for your assistance and sorry for my bad english.

Dirk

Ok Folks, i answer myself.

I have found a way to get the mac-address (Fujitsu BX9xx) from snmp and write this into a csv file (.\ESX-Server-MAC-List.csv).

Hostname,IP,RSB-Name,RSB-IP,RSB-MAC,RSB-User,RSB-Pass
bcf70101.dcs,10.x.y.z,bcf70101.rsb,10.r.s.b,C8:0A:A9:57:xx:xx,user,pass
bcf70102.dcs,10.x.y.z,bcf70102.rsb,10.r.s.b,C8:0A:A9:9E:xx:xx,user,pass

And now the code -> SetIPMIfromCSV.ps1

function FindName([string] $name)
{
  foreach ($obj in $IPArray)
  {
    if ( $obj.Hostname -eq $name )
    {
      return $obj;
    }
  }
  return $NULL
}

$vcserver="xxxxxx"

$snp = Get-PSsnapin -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core >$NULL 2>&1
if ($snp.Name -ne "VMware.VimAutomation.Core" )
{
  Add-PSsnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core >$NULL 2>&1
}

.\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1 >$NULL 2>&1

$srv = Connect-VIServer -server $vcserver -NotDefault
if ( $srv.Name -ne $vcserver )
{
  write-Output "No connection to $vcserver ."
  exit
}
Connect-VIServer $vcserver -Session $srv.SessionId >$NULL 2>&1

$IPArray = Import-Csv .\ESX-Server-MAC-List.csv

Get-VMHost -Location "Clusterxxx" | sort | % {
  $esxhost = $_
  $hostview = $_ | Get-View
  [string] $hostname = $hostview.Name

  $obj=FindName($hostname)
  if ( $obj -ne $NULL)
  {
    $ipmi = New-Object Vmware.Vim.HostIpmiInfo
    $ipmi.BmcIpAddress = $obj.'RSB-IP'
    $ipmi.BmcMacAddress = $obj.'RSB-MAC'
    $ipmi.Login = $obj.'RSB-User'
    $ipmi.Password = $obj.'RSB-Pass'
    #Write-Output $ipmi
    $hostview.UpdateIpmi($ipmi)
  }
}

write-Output "################################################################################"

Disconnect-VIServer -server $vcserver -confirm:$false
Remove-PSsnapin -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core

exit

Best regards

Dirk
