iLO RESTful API
Use the iLO RESTful API and a REST client such as the RESTful Interface Tool to update firmware.

Update_Firmware.xml sample script. Edit the sample script with your setup details, and then run the script.
HPLOMIG (also called Directories Support for ProLiant Management Processors)
You do not need to use directory integration to take advantage of the HPLOMIG firmware update capabilities. HPLOMIG
can be used to discover multiple iLO processors and update their firmware in one step.
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.
