Installset Command
Syntax
installset [Optional Parameters]
Description
Command to perform operations on
install sets.
Among other objects, install sets contain a Name
, an Id
and an ordered

Install set name to create, remove, or invoke/deploy.
- -r, --removeall
Remove all install sets.
NOTE
To remove recovery install sets during a local in-band session, you have to supply
the --user
and --password
parameters. This security enhancement is needed
because the local in-band management mode does not perform any authentication,
as mentioned in the login
command
description.
- -j, --json
Optionally include this flag to change the displayed output to JSON format. Preserving the JSON data structure makes the information easier to parse.
- --expire=EXAFTER
Optionally include this flag to set the expiry time for installset. ISO 8601 Redfish-style time string to be written after which iLO will automatically change state to Expired (i.e. YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss, YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ).
- --startafter=SAFTER
Optionally include this flag to set the earliest execution time for installset. ISO 8601 Redfish-style time string to be used (i.e. YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss, YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ).
- --tpmover
Use this flag if the server you are currently logged into has a TPM chip installed.
- --updaterecoveryset
If set then the components in the flash operations are used to replace matching contents in the Recovery Set.
- --cleartaskqueue
This option clears previous items in the task queue before the Install Set is invoked.
Login Parameters
The following parameters can be included to login to a server in the same line as the command is run.
- --url=URL
If you are not logged in yet, use the provided iLO URL along with the user and password flags to login to the server in the same command.
- -u User, --user=USER
If you are not logged in yet, use this flag along with the password and URL flags to login to a server in the same command.
- -p Password, --password=PASSWORD
If you are not logged in yet, use this flag along with the user and URL flags to login. Use the provided iLO password corresponding to the username you gave to login.
- --logout
Optionally include the logout flag to log out of the server after this command is completed. Using this flag when not logged in will have no effect.
Examples
The following example lists install sets with basic formatting.
ilorest login <ilo-ip> -u <ilo-user> -p password
ilorest installset
ilorest logout
Install Sets:
basic_update:
SequenceName1: Action Filename1
SequenceName2: Action Filemane2
Install sets can be added with their complete JSON structure or a subset
containing only the members of the sequence[]
array.
TIP
Refer to the Makeinstallset command to learn how to create an install set file.

},
{

"Command": "ResetServer"
}
]
To add an install set, run the command with the add
argument followed by
an install set json file. When using sequence type json file, it is not
necessary to include the -n, --name
flag.
In this scenario the iLO provides default install set name (time stamp).
ilorest login <ilo-ip> -u <ilo-user> -p password
ilorest installset add myinstallset.json
ilorest logout
[201] The operation completed successfully.
In case of problem during the addition of an install set, use the -d, --debug
mode to troubleshoot. The following example fails to add an install
set because it contains two identical sequence member names (NonUnique
).
The last lines of the iLOrest.log file explains this problem.
ilorest login <ilo-ip> -u <ilo-user> -p password
ilorest -v installset add badsequence.json

}
]
}
}
To invoke (deploy) an install set, run the command with the invoke
command
followed by the -n, --name
option specifying the name of the install set to
invoke. Add the --tpmover
if a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is installed in
the system.
iLOrest > installset invoke --name basic_update
Invoking install set:basic_update
The operation completed successfully.
TIP
Use the taskqueue
command without any
argument to monitor the install set deployment.
To delete an install set run the command with the delete
argument
followed by the --name
specifying the name of the install set to delete.
iLOrest > installset delete --name basic_update
Deleting install set: basic_update...
The operation completed successfully.
To remove all install sets run the command with the --removeall
option.
LOrest > installset --removeall
Deleting all install sets...
The operation completed successfully.

Uploadcomp Command
Syntax
uploadcomp [Optional Parameters]
Description
Command to upload a firmware in the iLO repository.
NOTES
-
The
uploadcomp
command requires iLO 5 firmware version v1.48(a) or later. Earlier iLO 5 Firmware versions fails with a return code 103. - iLO firmware version v1.48(a) or later is required because the uploadcomp command depends on the Bunny Hop feature found in that version of the iLO firmware.
- Before updating the iLO firmware, read the customer advisory regarding iLO firmware upgrades .
Parameters
- -h, --help
Including the help flag will display help for the command.
- --includelogs
Optionally include logs in the data retrieval process.
- -j, --json
Optionally include this flag if you wish to change the displayed output to JSON format. Preserving the JSON data structure makes the information easier to parse.
- --component=COMPONENT
Component or binary file path to upload to the update service.
- --compsig=COMPONENTSIG
Component signature file path needed by iLO to authenticate the component file. If not provided, the command will try to find the signature file from component file path.
- --forceupload
Add this flag to force upload components with the same name already on the repository.
- --update_repository
Add this flag to skip uploading component/binary to the iLO Repository.
If this flag is included with --update_srs
, it is ignored.
Adding component to the repository is required to update the system
recovery set.
- --update_target
If true, the uploaded component/binary will be flashed. The default is set to False.
- --update_srs
The uploaded component becomes a part of the system recovery set (srs).
NOTE
--update_target
also need to passed along with --update_srs
for
component to be valid for that server.

By default the firmware is uploaded to the iLO Repository. For firmware iLO is
capable of flashing you can instead directly flash it.
To do this you need to include the --update_repository
flag to not include the firmware in the iLO repository and
the --update_target
flag to trigger iLO to flash.
iLOrest > uploadcomp --component ilo5_140.bin --update_repository --update_target
