While exploring I found one more command on the ESXi which can help to find iDrac or ILO IP address, but for this you need to first install few VIB software extension for HPE - hpocfg ilo or Dell - openmanage iDrac.Ĭheckout vib installation step by step guide: Reset HP ILO password from Esxi server and the IP address information while running hponcfg command. When you execute hponcfg tool on ESXi ssh console it shows the IP itself.
I wanted to test Dell hardware to get iDrac ip information, for this I using same but little bit different command to connect to ESXCLI functionality. $esxcliīelow command provide the same output information about HP ILO, which we saw on localcli or esxcli command. This $esxcli has all the same element exposed which is exposed on ssh esxcli or localcli commands. Next connect the required esxi servers ESXCLI functionality using PowerCLI cmdlets and store information in $esxcli variable. First command use as below to login onto either vCenter server or Esxi directly. This will list all the useful remote management IPMI BMC config information, In my case it is showing Dell iDRAC useful information like BMC firmware, IPMI version, iDRAC IPv4 addresses (IP, Gateway, Subnet), Manufacturer of interface card.īut instead of enabling SSH and logging onto each esxi server SSH console, I was looking for some automation using VMware PowerCLI. Run or Execute any of the below one command.

This guide will also help to find IPs on other hardware vendors for example Nutanix, vRail etc. Here while working on client's VMware infrastructure setup, which were mostly consist of Dell and HPE servers hardware, I always need to find remote management controller IPs if they are not property documented. Below command processes will help to get the same information without any down time or reboot. This article will help you on the topic.Īlthough you can see ILO or iDRAC IP address details when system boot, but you will have to be present in front of the server with monitor attached, and this process might require reboot. You might have come across situation where you want to find remote management controller IP address information (ie: Dell iDrac or HPE ILO ip etc).
