iLO network failed flash recovery

Normally firmware upgrades proceed successfully. In the unlikely event of server power loss during an iLO
firmware upgrade, iLO might still be recoverable when power is restored.
When booting, the kernel performs image validation on the main image. If the image is corrupt or
incomplete, the kernel enters Failed Flash Recovery. Failed Flash Recovery activates an FTP server within iLO.
This FTP server enables you to send an image to iLO for programming. No other services are provided by this
FTP server.
A network client can connect to this FTP server. The username for the connection is "ftp" and the password
is "flash." To send a firmware image to iLO, use the FTP client PUT command. After receiving the image, iLO
validates the image. If the image is a complete, signed, and valid firmware image, the kernel begins
programming the FLASH part.
After the image has been completely programmed into the FLASH part, reset iLO by issuing the RESE
command to the iLO FTP server.
