The Integrated Lights-Out (ILO) Management on HPE #ProLiant servers support the #Redfish DMTF API since ILO4.

To make the communication to the API easier, #HPE created the #opensource ilorest command in 2016.

However, depending on your #Linux server setup, you might run into an error when executing ilorest - a misleading error pointing to a library issue.

In my latest #blog post I share how #ilorest can be debugged and find out the real reason.

Debugging HPE ilorest command failing with error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1

Under certain situations, depending on your server setup, the ilorest command from HPE does not work and fails with a (misleading) error pointing to library problem.
