You can also initiate iLO or server firmware updates from the
iLO Repository page.
Prerequisites
• The Configure iLO Settings privilege is required for flashing firmware and storing components in the iLO Repository.
• The Recovery Set privilege is required for making an optional update to the System Recovery Set after a successful
firmware update.
• If you want to use the
Update Recovery Set feature, a System Recovery Set must exist and contain the component
you want to update.
• If you want to update to iLO 5 version 2.10 or later, iLO 5 version 1.40 or later is installed.
Procedure
1.
Obtain a server firmware or iLO firmware file.
2.
Power off the server and wait 30 seconds if you will update the Innovation Engine (IE) or Server Platform Services
(SPS) firmware.
3.
Click
Firmware & OS Software in the navigation tree, and then click Update Firmware.
If the
Update Firmware option is not displayed, click the ellipsis icon in the top-right corner of the iLO web interface,
then click
Update Firmware.
4.
Select the
Local file or Remote file option.
5.
Depending on the option you selected, do one of the following:
• Depending on the browser you use, click
Browse or Choose File in the Local file box, and then specify the
location of the firmware component.
• In the
Remote file URL box, enter the URL for a firmware component on an accessible web server.
6.
(Optional) To save a copy of the component to the iLO Repository, select the
Also store in iLO Repository check
box.
7.
(Optional) If a version of the component you selected in step
5 exists in the System Recovery Set, select the Update
Recovery Set check box to replace the existing component with the selected component.
Selecting this option replaces the component, even if the version in the System Recovery Set is newer.
If there is no System Recovery Set, or you are not assigned the required privilege for this action, then this option is
not displayed.
When you select this option, the
Also store in iLO Repository option is selected automatically, because the System
Recovery set is stored in the iLO Repository.
8.
On servers with an installed TPM or TM, suspend or back up software that stores information on the TPM or TM,
then select the
Confirm TPM override check box.
Drive encryption software is an example of software that stores information on the TPM or TM.
CAUTION: If you use drive encryption software, suspend it before initiating a firmware update. Failure to
follow these instructions might result in losing access to your data.
9.
To start the update process, click
Flash.
Depending on the server configuration, iLO notifies you that:
