Troubleshooting iLO

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

1.Download the latest iLO firmware SoftPaq. Select the SoftPaq image for diskettes and save it to the hard drive. The SoftPaq can be downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).

2.Execute the SoftPaq to create diskettes.

Complete this procedure only on the iLO host server:

1.Boot the system from the ROMPaq diskette.

2.Press the Enter key at the ROMPaq welcome screen. A screen displays the devices in your server that can be upgraded.

3.Use the cursors to select iLO Management and press the Enter key. A screen displays the firmware images that ROMPaq can install.

4.Use the cursors to highlight the appropriate image and press the Enter key.

5.Press the Enter key again. ROMPaq reads the firmware image. If you are prompted to enter additional diskettes put in the appropriate diskette and press the Enter key.

6.Press the Enter key again to begin reprogramming the ROM. Do not power cycle, reboot, or turn off the system while this process is taking place.

7.After you receive a message that the flash programming has completed successfully, press the Enter key.
