Learning something new every day…

One of the things I really like about working within a team in one location is the fact that are able to learn something new regularly. And of course you are also able to give some useful advice to others 🙂

Something I learned this week is how to turn on the UID light on a HP server without logging into the iLO webinterface. You can use the tool hpasmcli – which probably can do some more useful stuff too 🙂
