you are successful, then the flash recovery payload is active and it is
necessary to upgrade the firmware using the flash recovery process.
4. If you cannot open an FTP session, then the system is not in recovery mode.
Attempt to reset iLO using the steps in the "Resetting iLO (on page

Flash Recovery Process
If you have verified that the flash recovery process is necessary through the
diagnostic steps:
1. Open an FTP session to the IP address or DNS name of iLO.
2. Log in to iLO using the fixed username flash and the password of
recovery. The username and password are case-sensitive.
3. At the FTP prompt, enter the put command and the file name of the
firmware image.
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.
