Sample scripts are available at http://www.hpe.com/support/ilo5. For more information about
scripting, see the iLO scripting and CLI guide.
When iLO is configured to use the SuiteB security state, only HPONCFG for Linux is supported.
Out-of-band firmware updates
• iLO web interface—Download a supported firmware file and install it by using the iLO web
interface. You can update firmware for a single server or an iLO Federation group.
• iLO RESTful API—Use the iLO RESTful API and a REST client such as the RESTful Interface
Tool to update firmware.
For more information, see http://www.hpe.com/info/restfulinterface/docs.
• HPQLOCFG—Use this utility to update firmware by using XML scripts. Download the iLO or server
firmware image and the Update_Firmware.xml sample script. Edit the sample script with your
setup details, and then run the script.
Sample scripts are available at http://www.hpe.com/support/ilo5. For more information about
scripting, see the iLO scripting and CLI guide.
• HPLOMIG (also called Directories Support for ProLiant Management Processors)—You do not
need to use directory integration to take advantage of the HPLOMIG firmware update capabilities.
HPLOMIG can be used to discover multiple iLO processors and update their firmware in one step.
• SMASH CLP—Access SMASH CLP through the SSH port, and use standard commands to view
firmware information and update firmware.
For more information about SMASH CLP, see the iLO scripting and CLI guide.
Offline firmware update
When you use an offline method to update the firmware, you must reboot the server by using an offline
utility.
The SPP, SUM, the Scripting Toolkit for Windows, and the Scripting Toolkit for Linux are examples of
offline firmware update methods.
Offline firmware update methods
You can use the following offline firmware update methods:
SPP
Use the SPP to install firmware. For more information, see the following website: http://
www.hpe.com/info/spp/documentation.
SUM
SUM is a tool for firmware, driver, and software maintenance on supported servers and other nodes.
You can use SUM together with iLO to access the iLO Repository and manage install sets and the
installation queue.
Scripting Toolkit
Use the Scripting Toolkit to configure several settings within the server and update firmware. This
method is useful for deploying to multiple servers. For instructions, see the Scripting Toolkit user
guide for Windows or Linux.
