Using iLO 95
Recovering from a Failed iLO Firmware Update
In the event that an iLO firmware update has failed, there are various recovery
options. For all of these options, you need a current firmware image. HP does not
recommended downgrading iLO firmware, and the version you have could be
corrupt.
1. Download the latest iLO firmware. iLO downloads are available on the HP
website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/index.html
).
2. Determine if the update failed.
a. Can you ping iLO?
b. Can you log in?
c. Does the iLO Option ROM prompt appear during host POST?
d. Are the iLO status LEDs strobing in a regular pattern? Examine the iLO
status LEDs inside the server to see if they are strobing in a regular
pattern from LED 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. If the iLO LED pattern is visible,
proceed to step 4.
3. Attempt to re-flash over the network.
You might be able to initiate a firmware update using RIBCL or a browser.
If network flash failed, try the on-line flash component. Components are
available for both Windowst® and Linux.
4. If the on-line flash component failed, try the ROMPAQ diskette.
a. Build the ROMPAQ diskettes and boot the host using disk 1.
b. You might need to set the iLO Security Override Switch for ROMPAQ
to succeed. Restore the Security Override Switch after the flash process
is complete.
