Installing python-hpilo

This module is easy to install and has very few extra dependencies. For the convenience of users of major linux distributions, I also ship packages that you can install with the standard package manager.

Dependencies

Always needed:

  • Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.5 or newer

Sometimes needed:

  • If you want to use the LOCAL protocol, talking to the iLO from the server it is installed in via a kernel driver, you need to install this driver and the hponcfg tool from hp

  • Some example applications require additional software. More details about these requirements can be found in the documentation of those examples.

Installing the latest release

The easiest way is to install with pip:

$ pip3 install python-hpilo

You can also download the package from PyPI and install it manually like any other application by unpacking it and running python setup.py install.

Users of supported Fedora and RHEL/CentOS releases can also use my COPR repository:

$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
$ sudo dnf copr enable seveas/python-hpilo
$ sudo dnf install python-hpilo
