SMASH CLP
Access SMASH CLP through the SSH port, and use standard commands to view firmware information and update
firmware.
LOCFG.PL
Use a Perl sample to send RIBCL scripts to iLO over the network.
Offline firmware update
When you use an offline method to update the firmware, you must reboot the server by using an offline utility.
Offline firmware update methods
