Hauptsächlich für mich, damit ich die sie nicht so schnell wieder verliere, ein paar Links, über die ich in den Quickspecs der DL20 Gen10 gestolpert bin. Vielleicht sammle ich hier dann fürderhin auch weitere Informationen zu dem Thema. Wahrscheinlich ist das alles auch nicht so neu und wahrscheinlich hatte mich Ralf Heiringhoff dazu auch schon mal kurz informiert aber "so much to do - so little time". Und vermutlich tut sich da auch noch ein bisschen was.
- iLO RESTful API Ecosystem: HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) server management provides intelligent remote control automation through scripting or an API. Gain even more capabilities that go beyond scripting by leveraging one API to manage your complete lifecycle of HPE Gen9 and Gen10 servers—iLO RESTful API. A single API interface integrates server management components and full compute power. Use it with HPE iLO 4 and iLO 5 to perform remote server provisioning, configuration, inventory and monitoring to industry standards through Redfish API conformance.
- Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux: The Scripting Toolkit (STK) for Windows and Linux provide flexible scripting to automate steps in HPE ProLiant server configurations to scale high volumes of server deployments rapidly and cut deployment time substantially. The STK includes a modular set of utilities and documentation that describe how to apply the scripting tools for an automated deployment process. It delivers hands-off, unattended installation for high volume HPE ProLiant server deployments and is integrated with other managementtools such as Integrated Lights Out (iLO), BIOS and is based on Intelligent Provisioning. Its "Rack and Go" approach frees up scarce IT resources, delivers consistent server configurations across multiple servers, and integrates into popular methods for operating system deployment. Past versions were based on SmartStart, and were known as the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.
- iLO Amplifier Pack: Do you have massive data centers with thousands of servers? Does managing updates on this server infrastructure require a dedicated team of engineers and multiple instances of planned downtime? iLO Amplifier Pack (Integrated Lights-Out) is an at scale inventory and update management tool which enables customers with large Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 Hewlett Packard Enterprise server deployments to get rapid up-to-date inventory and automate firmware and driver updates. It also assists in manual and automated recovery of systems with corrupt firmware. It scales to thousands of servers reducing personnel and downtime. It is a pre-tested solution which allows maintenance to come from the administrator at a console with a browser-based GUI versus having to physically touch each unit or create and manage customized scripts. It has an integrated discovery engine that identifies components that need to be updated on servers and take care of interdependency issues.
- RESTful Interface Tool: Having problems finding a single scripting tool that provides management automation among the server components? Being challenged with many tools, remote management vulnerabilities and scripting limitation? Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers you a single scripting tool called RESTful Interface Tool designed for HPE ProLiant Gen9 & Gen10 Servers with flexible and simpler scripting server automation at scale for rapid deployments to help cut time substantially. The RESTful Interface Tool lets you configure, monitor and update various server components. The tool is agnostic to the iLO RESTful API that is Redfish API conformant with no FW or schema download dependencies, allowing management of iLO, BIOS, Smart Array and firmware updates.
Viel davon geht vermutlich auf Redfish zurück oder verwendet es. Noch ist mir auch nicht klar, was davon "legacy" ist und was die "aktuellen" Teile sind. Ein Thema, was mir bis dahin noch gar nicht untergekommen war, ist ClearOS and ClearVM Software from HPE. Offenbar hat HPE sich da eine eigene Linux-Distribution auf CentOS-Basis gebaut, die für ihre kleinen Server z. B. im SOHO-Bereich zum Einsatz kommen soll.
