Get iLo5 version and BIOS ROM version using VRO

Hi Guys

 

How to get iLo5 version and BIOS ROM version? I tried to find and run the SSH commands to get the iLO version but commands are not available which can share the version and that can run on the SSH.

 

I have also tried to run few commands using vro to iLO SSH connection but I do not have appropriate command. 

 

Please help me to get iLo5 version and BIOS ROM version from VRO using SSH connection.

/bin/esxcfg-info -w -F xml | grep -E 'bios-version|bios-releasedate|bmc-version'

or you could parse the xml from:

https://YourESXiHost/cgi-bin/esxcfg-info.cgi?xml

If your HPE servers are managed by OneView, you can use the OneView vRO plugin to do this very easily. (Use action to find hpe server from vcenter host then the firmware/bios are properties of the hpe server object)
