Attempt to open an FTP session to the IP address or DNS name of iLO. If you are successful, then the
3.
flash recovery payload is active and it is necessary to upgrade the firmware using the flash recovery
process.
If you cannot open an FTP session, then the system is not in recovery mode. Attempt to reset iLO
4.
using the steps in the "Resetting iLO (on page 184)" section.
Flash recovery process
If you have verified that the flash recovery process is necessary through the diagnostic steps:
Open an FTP session to the IP address or DNS name of iLO.
1.
Log in to iLO using the fixed username flash and the password of recovery. The username and
2.
password are case-sensitive.
At the FTP prompt, enter the put command and the file name of the firmware image.
3.
The following is an example of the entries used for the flash recovery process:
ftp 192.168.177.142
login: flash
password: recovery
put \iLO160.bin
If the file is found, then the put command transfers the file to iLO, the image is validated, and the
flashing process begins.
If the file is not found, then some versions of the put command do not report an error message.
If the directory path includes spaces, enclose the path and filename in quotes.
After the firmware image is transferred, the recovery payload calculates the check sum, validates the
digital signature, and reports if the image is valid. The flash reprogramming begins if the image is valid,
and flashing progress is then reported to the client.
NOTE:
hash and computes a hash for the image to compare against. If the image is valid, the FTP
server begins programming the image into the flash part and providing status updates.
When completed, the flash recovery payload module disconnects and reboots the iLO processor. If the
flash recovery process is unsuccessful, attempt the process again while you view the progress for any
errors. It might be necessary to use a different firmware image for the process.
ROMPaq
Using ROMPaq to upgrade the iLO firmware involves two procedures: The first can be performed on any
server, and the second must be performed on the iLO host server.
Complete this procedure on any server:
Download the latest iLO firmware SoftPaq. Select the SoftPaq image for diskettes and save it to the
1.
hard drive. The SoftPaq can be downloaded from the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
Execute the SoftPaq to create diskettes.
2.
Complete this procedure only on the iLO host server:
Boot the system from the ROMPaq diskette.

This process will take a few seconds while the recovery payload decrypts the stored
