Troubleshooting iLO 393
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.
