Create report on all servers in HPE OneView

In this post, I will share with you a script I use to run a report on all the HPE ProLiant servers added to our HPE OneView appliance(s).

Please note, in order for this script to work you will need to install the HPE OneView PowerShell module first. This module is linked to the version of your HPE OneView appliance(s). Assuming you keep your appliance up to date, the latest version at writing of this article is HPEOneView.660. You can install this module with this PowerShell command:

Install-Module -Name HPEOneView.660

More information on this module can be found here: GitHub – HewlettPackard/POSH-HPEOneView: PowerShell language bindings library for HPE OneView.

This script will connect with all HPE OneView appliances defined in variable $ListOfHPEOneViewAppliances. It will the following information of all servers added to the HPE OneView appliances:

  • Serial number
  • Name in HPE OneView
  • Server name
  • Server model
  • Server part number
  • Amount of memory
  • Processor type
  • Processor speed
  • Number of processors
  • Number of cores per processor
  • BIOS version
  • form factor
  • iLO model
  • iLO license type
  • iLO firmware version
  • iLO host name

As always, please keep in mind this script is tailored to my environment, but can be used as a template for your environment. I do not pretend to be a PowerShell guru and as such my script may not be perfect. I am open to suggestions, though šŸ™‚
If you found this script useful, Iā€™d appreciate it if you leave a comment.
