Alternatively, you can also install the firmware through a browser. For more information, see
"Installing firmware through a web browser".
The TFTP application might report an error in the early part of the firmware upload process,
during the firmware image validation process. An error does not necessarily indicate failure
of the firmware upload and does not prevent successful firmware uploads. A successful firmware
upload typically takes several minutes. After the firmware upgrade process is complete, verify
that the new version of the firmware is active.
If the firmware upgrade process fails after sufficient time (at least 5 minutes), reboot the server,
and verify that the previous version of the firmware is still active. Always reboot the server
before retrying the firmware upgrade process.
Do not reset the system or the BMC during download; the server may become corrupt.
After installing the firmware, the IP address of the server might reset to the default value. You
must locally reset the IP address to the desired address.
NOTE:
After using the load command LO100 will reset ending your CLP interface session.
You must reconnect to the CLP interface.
NOTE:
When you use the CLP load command with TFTPD32, HP recommends using a
4-second timeout and 10 retries.
Reset the system after the download is complete to load the SDRR and CFGs so that LO100
can recognize the individual server platform and not a "ProLiant Generic G6."
