Resetting the iLO password via hponcfg on HP servers

On the test, I change the iLO password to the standard Administrator user on the HP ProLiant DL380 G7 server, the password is generated randomly from the manufacturer and installed in the BIOS, it can also be seen on the pull-out ribbon and attached to the server.

Therefore, in order not to restart the server to change the password, create a file with the name reset_password.xml for example and add content to it:

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
<LOGIN USER_LOGIN="Administrator" PASSWORD="password">
<USER_INFO MODE="write">
<MOD_USER USER_LOGIN="Administrator">
<PASSWORD value="password specify here only"/>
</MOD_USER>
</USER_INFO>
</LOGIN>
</RIBCL>

Where Administrator, this is the user name, password – do not touch, there can be any text, but only indicate the desired password to the user in the PASSWORD value.

We export the file:

sudo hponcfg -f reset_password.xml

In case of an error, you can output the report to the log.txt file with the command:

sudo hponcfg -f reset_password.xml -l log.txt

SNMP OID List for iLO4

I made a template for Zabbix today to monitor iLO 4 on the HP DL380p G8 server and had to investigate several OIDs.

You can check the OID from Linux with the command:
snmpwalk 192.168.1.5 -c КОМЬЮНИТИ -v 2c OID

Below is a list and description for OID coolers, processors, temperature sensors, logical drives (RAID), hard disks, network controller iLO, RAM.

HP Pavilion dv7 Repair – White Screen

Noticed recently the appearance of a white screen at the time of work on the laptop HP Pavilion dv7.
When switching to an external monitor and back by a combination with the Fn key, the image was displayed normally, but after a while the problem appeared again.

The main reason for this phenomenon is likely to be a damaged or poor contact on the plume going to the display.
In my case, its disconnection/connection did not solve the problem, I had to order it on Aliexpress, it’s not expensive there.
Under the battery is written the full name of the laptop model for which you need to order a cable.

After replacing the loop, the problem was solved.
