Before give you main script for that, let's explain some details:
HP Onboard Administrator or Virtual Connect can be connect by SSH using tools like putty (Alternative Download). When you are connect on your OA or VC you can use some command line.
For more information about OA command line go to Onboard Administrator dedicated HP site and specifically to OA download manual on Manual OA site to download HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide(Alternative Download)
For more information about VC command line go to Manual VC site where you could find HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface (Alternative Download)
To use plink.exe (tool to do putty link), on OA or VC, I give you some examples below
To create a new OA administrator user named admin with password pass
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.254 -m OAadduser.txt
with OAadduser.txt
ADD USER "admin" "pass"
SET USER ACCESS "admin" ADMINISTRATOR
SET USER FULLNAME "admin" "Backup Administrator"
ASSIGN SERVER ALL "admin"
ASSIGN INTERCONNECT ALL "admin"
ASSIGN OA "admin"
To change admin OA user password to newpass
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.254 -m OAchangepassword.txt
with OAchangepassword.txt
SET USER PASSWORD "admin" "newpass"
To delete admin OA user
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.254 -m OAremoveuser.txt
with OAremoveuser.txt
REMOVE USER "admin"
To show all OA informations
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.254 -m OAshowall.txt
with OAremoveuser.txt
SHOW ALL
To create a new VC administrator user named admin with password pass
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.250 -m VCadduser.txt
with VCadduser.txt
add user admin Password=pass Privileges="domain,server,network,storage" FullName="Backup Administrator" Enabled=true
To change admin VC user password to newpass
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.250 -m VCchangepassword.txt
with VCchangepassword.txt
set user admin Password=newpass
To delete admin VC user
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.250 -m VCremoveuser.txt
with VCremoveuser.txt
remove user admin
To show all VC informations
plink -ssh -l Administrator -pw password -batch 192.168.1.250 -m VCshowall.txt
with VCshowall.txt
SHOW ALL
Now the best part: do all these actions on multiple Onboard Administrator or Virtual Connect. If you do not want to do copy/paste for each part, I encourage you to download GetSetHPOAVCInfos.zip file file.
First, you must create putty ssh keys. For this, execute plink_reg.cmd which will create these key then will export registry to plink.reg file
Why create ssh keys before ? That permit to avoid to answer yes to each OA or VC

To use script GetSetHPOAVCInfos.cmd, which permit to execute command line on all VC or OA use for example
GetHPOAVCInfos.cmd testOAVC.txt testOAVCcmdline.txt
with file testOAVC.txt containing for example these lines

192.168.1.224;administrator;password
and file testOAVCcmdline.txt with these lines
show all

If you want to separate each log (ex: oa_or_vc_192.168.1.220.log, oa_or_vc_192.168.1.224.log) add SEPARATELOG like this
GetHPOAVCInfos.cmd testOAVC.txt testOAVCcmdline.txt SEPARATELOG
