Description

This module gathers information on a specific system using its HP iLO interface. These information includes hardware and network related information useful for provisioning (e.g. macaddress, uuid).

This module requires the C(hpilo) python module.

This module was called C(hpilo_facts) before Ansible 2.9, returning C(ansible_facts). Note that the M(hpilo_info) module no longer returns C(ansible_facts)!
