Hi,

Has anyone booted an ISO file through HP ILO by using ansible?

1. If yes, can you please explain how the connection is established between remote and host server. Also the booting procedure.
2. After booting the server how can we automate the process/pass the variables to assign the hostname, IP address for the physical server.

Thanks.
