Enabling telnet and HTTP services

On HP ProLiant ML110 G5 Servers, HTTP and telnet are enabled after installing the HP ProLiant Lights-Out

100c Remote Management Card.

Updating the firmware

To update the LO100 firmware, use the ROMPaq utility. Downloads for the ROMPaq utility are available

on the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

). For more information about using the ROMPaq utility,

refer to the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/servers/manage

).

NOTE:

LO100 does not support ROMPAQ flashing from a virtual floppy.

After the ROMPaq utility flashes the selected device, cycle power manually to reboot the operating
system.

Updating the firmware remotely

Use the

load

command to update the LO100 firmware remotely. The firmware file must be an

uncompressed firmware image file created using the DOS ROMPAQ utility found on the Lights-Out 100

Firmware Upgrade Diskette Utility, which is available for download from the HP website

(

http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out

).

To create an uncompressed image file, enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

ROMPAQ /D

where <infile> is the ROMPAQ firmware image file and <outfile> is the file name for the
uncompressed binary image file. For example:

ROMPAQ /D cpqq0801.D14 ldrImage.bin
