Upgrading iLO 2 firmware
Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of iLO 2. You can find the latest firmware on the HP
website at
http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out . Select your iLO 2 product, and then select
Software & Drivers. After the software and drivers page appears, select your iLO 2 product and
operating system, and then click Locate Software. You can also locate your iLO 2 software by
selecting the Operating System and Category options.
You must have the Configure iLO 2 privilege (configure local device settings) to update the firmware
unless, you set the security override switch. For more information, see
“iLO 2 Security Override
Switch administration” (page 42) . If the security override switch is set, any iLO 2 user can update
the firmware. You must run firmware updates from an Administrator or root context on the host
operating system.
To update the iLO 2 choose one of the following methods:
•
Online firmware update – Download the appropriate operating system component and run
it from the Administrator or root context of the operating system. The online firmware update
software runs on the host operating system and updates the iLO 2 firmware without requiring
you to log in to iLO 2.
•
Offline firmware update for SmartStart maintenance – Download the iLO 2 firmware image
file you plan to install, and see
“Upgrading iLO 2 with a browser” (page 25) .
•
Firmware Maintenance CD-ROM – Download the component to create a bootable CD that
contains many firmware updates for ProLiant servers and options.
•
Scripting with CPQLOCFG – Download the CPQLOCFG component to get the network-based
scripting utility CPQLOCFG. CPQLOCFG enables you to use RIBCL scripts that perform firmware
