image file” (page 26) .
Performing an out-of-band firmware update
When you use this method to update the iLO firmware, you use a network connection to
communicate with iLO directly.
You can use the following out-of-band firmware update methods:
•
iLO web interface—Download the iLO Online ROM Flash Component and install it by using
the iLO web interface. For instructions, see
“Updating the iLO firmware by using a browser”
(page 27) .
•
HPQLOCFG—Use the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility to configure iLO by using XML scripts.
Download the iLO firmware image and the Update_Firmware.xml sample script. Edit the
sample script with your setup details, and then run the script.
Sample scripts are available at http://www.hp.com/support/ilo3 . For more information about
scripting, see the HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line Guide.
For instructions about obtaining the iLO firmware image, see “Obtaining the iLO firmware
image file” (page 26) .
•
HPLOMIG (also called HP Directories Support for Management Processors)—Download the
HP Directories Support for Management Processors executable file to access the directory
support components. One of the components, HPLOMIG, can be used to discover multiple
iLO processors and update their firmware in one step. You do not need to use directory
integration to take advantage of this feature. For more information, see
“Upgrading firmware
on management processors” (page 200) .
•
SMASH CLP—Access SMASH CLP through the SSH port, and use standard commands to view
firmware information and update the firmware.
For more information about SMASH CLP, see the HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line
Guide.
NOTE: The SMASH CLP method for updating firmware is not supported for upgrading to
iLO 3 1.50 or later.
Updating firmware by using an offline method
When you use an offline method to update the firmware, you must reboot the server by using an
offline utility. Examples of offline firmware updates include the following:
•
HP Service Pack for ProLiant—Use the HP Service Pack for ProLiant to install the firmware
update. For more information, see the following website:
http://www.hp.com/go/spp .
•
Windows or Linux Scripting Toolkit—Use the Scripting Toolkit to configure several settings
within the server and update firmware. This method is useful for deploying to multiple servers.
For instructions, see the HP Scripting Toolkit for Linux User Guide or HP Scripting Toolkit for
Windows User Guide.
