"Sorry to say, but on March 1st without any prior notice or any explanation whatsoever, GitHub has suspended my personal account and made orphan all the projects that I owned / maintained."»

Again, this is why you do not want to use #GitHub. This is why you SHOULD NOT use GitHub.

#HP #HewlettPackard #FixedIt
Just spent a couple of hours fixing the iLO4 in my DL80 Gen9.
Well, ok, let's be fair. I spent a couple of hours #fixing my own #misclick/#stupidity.
I decided to find out what would happen if I selected "FlexibleLOM" instead of "LOM" for the network interface in the iLO web config - and then lost the web config.
Queue "hponcfg".
I was able to download the current configuration using hponcfg to a file.. which I was able to parse for the interface (which ended up being at the top of the xml config....) and switch back to LOM, then upload the config back to the iLO with the same tool.
Now I've got the web interface back....
This is, of course, after about an hour of being disappointed that the standard #ipmitool commands just wouldn't work. #ThanksHP

The terminal I get at #ipmitool is notthe greatest. I can use keys to select options in e.g. the grub menu. But if I want to use them in the grub edit screen ('e'), it's tricky.

So I resort to Emacs key bindings: ctrl-p/ctrl-n (up/down), ctrl-f/ctrl-b (forward/backward) and ctrl-h (backspace).

A #Dell server at work won't boot (due to some special treatment we gave it). I was asked to connect through #iDRAC (Dell's remote management interface). I can power-cycle it, but the Java remote console doesn't work for whatever reason.

So I try to use #ipmitool instead:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H <host> -U <username> sol activate

if you're using #IPMItool please consider trying #freeipmi it's a much healthier code base and the tooling is awesome
