Description of problem: Satellite 6 allows provisioning using IPMI / PXE. Our customer currently relies on the native ILO protocol (https based) to boot an ISO image, IPMI is blocked in the network based on security concerns. ILO by itself allows XML based requests over https, HP offers “HP ILO Scripting Tools”: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/server-software/product-detail.html?oid=5219389 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 6.1.x How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
Any possibility of this being re-consider for the later version or upcoming? https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/hpilo_boot_module.html
Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team. Thank you.

Hi, this seems like a standard reply, did you also review the linked RFE from 4 days ago?
Hello Jürgen, Thank you for reaching out. Comment 12 is part of an automated process to maintain the backlog. Given that comment 11 was recently added and resulted in the bugzilla being re-opened after a closure (in 2018), I'll flag the bugzilla so that it goes back through RFE triage review.
While this is not officially supported in Satellite, there were users able to use iLO with the BMC IPMI integration we have. See https://projects.theforeman.org/projects/smart-proxy/wiki/BMC. If this works, one should be able to power on/off the machine through the ipmitool and also it should be possible to change the boot order. I don't think it would allow though to upload/boot from custom iso.
Thank you for submitting your feature proposal. After thorough consideration, we have determined that the proposed feature is not aligned with the original scope and objectives. We appreciate your contribution and encourage you to submit any other ideas or suggestions that may align more closely with our feature roadmap.
