How to make a request for server blade information The HPONCFG command sends a Remote Insight Board Command Language (RIBCL) script to the specified BladeSystem c-Class server blades. You can send the same RIBCL script to one or more of the server blades in the enclosure, such as in the following examples: • HPONCFG ALL returns power consumption information for all server blades in the enclosure. • HPONCFG 1, 3, 5 returns power consumption information for server blades in Bays 1, 3, and 5. • HPONCFG returns power consumption information for server blades in Bay 2 (Figure 1-1 shows the sample output).
