A simple role to manage ilo from Linux (Redhat) servers.

This role is a work in progress. For now it just install/upgrade the ILO firmware using OS packet management tools.

This role assumes you already downloaded desired firmware version rpm package to the files/ directory.

Latest version for the firmware can be found here.

Check revision history link and select latest version. Then select the download link and you will find the rpm file.

• installer_directory: directory where the rpm package is going to be copied (default value: /var/tmp)
• firmware_package: name of the rpm file to be copied. It should be located in files/ (default value: firmware-ilo4-2.80-1.1.i386.rpm)
• ilo: dictionary that defines ILO version according to HP server model. Current values are:
  • Gen9: ilo4
  • Gen10: ilo5

This role doesn't require any additional non-core roles.

Check tests/firmware_upgrade.yml as an example of how to use this role. You can run the role like this (please remember to set roles path properly to make this role reachable by the playbook):

$ ansible-playbook -u user -kK --extra-vars="server=destVm" -i inventory_file firmware_upgrade.yml
 ...

• user: user to log on the remote server using SSH. The user should be able to escalate superuser privileges.

• destVm: server where this agent is going to be installed. It should exist in the inventory_file below. Name of a group of servers or the reserved word "all" can be used (check ansible documentation for more info).

• inventory_file: inventory file including the list of servers where this playbook might be applied.
