HP iLO upgrade and you

by Stephen McGroarty 1/11/2011 6:03:09 AM

Downloaded the latest iLo firmware, link is at the bottom of this document, and save it to your local computer. It will be an executable file, select it and choose the Extract option

This will prompt you for a location to extract the files to; the files will not be in a folder unless you specify “Create Folder”. After selecting the location click Close and browse to the created folder.

In the folder there will be a file named ilo2_XXX.bin where XXX is the current version of the firmware.

Verify the files location and then open up a web browser, HP recommends using Internet Explorer for this process

After logging into the Onboard Administrator, select the server that you want to perform the update on.

After connecting to the server, under the server name select iLo then Web Administration

The workstation will connect to iLo and it should automatically log you into it.

Once logged in select the Administration tab and then the Firmware should be selected already.

Select Browse and go to your extracted firmware image, then select “Send firmware image

It will take a few moments to do the firmware update on the blade, and after it is completed the server will restart the iLo console and ask to you login.

To verify that the server has updated iLo correctly close the window. The firmware revision number should appear on the main page, but it might take a moment to fresh.
