HPE&#8217;s Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) provides remote management capabilities for HPE ProLiant servers. One of the tools to configure and manage iLO is <strong>HPONCFG<\/strong>. This utility allows administrators to configure iLO settings without having to reboot the server or restart services, making it a powerful tool for system management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we will cover how to use <strong>HPONCFG<\/strong> on both <strong>Windows<\/strong> and <strong>Linux<\/strong> systems, walking through installation, usage, and key commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is HPONCFG?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HPONCFG (HP Online Configuration Utility) is a command-line utility used to configure iLO on HPE servers. The main advantage of HPONCFG is that it enables configuration of iLO without requiring server downtime. It directly interfaces with the iLO subsystem, applying configurations in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before using HPONCFG, make sure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Administrator or root access to the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The appropriate HPONCFG package installed on your system (Windows or Linux).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Firmware version of iLO that supports HPONCFG (usually iLO 2 or later).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Installing HPONCFG on Windows<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
