Since this server was running production I couldn't open (Visual Inspection) or reboot it.</p> <p>The server didn't have Insight Agents installed so I couldn't query it via iLO or the Insight Agents webpage either.</p> <p><a href="https://remkoweijnen.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/image9.webp" class="glightbox" data-type="image" data-gallery="post-2195"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="margin: 0px 8px 10px 0px; display: inline; float: left" title="image" alt="image" align="left" src="https://remkoweijnen.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/image_thumb9.webp" width="32" height="32" /></a>I knew that when you do a full install of the array controller bundled software it comes with a commandline tool, hpacucli.exe.</p>
