Rebooting (resetting) iLO
In some cases, it might be necessary to reset iLO; for example, if iLO is not responding to the
browser.
Using the Reset option does not make any configuration changes, but ends all active
connections to the iLO firmware. If a firmware file upload is in progress, it is terminated. If a
firmware flash is in progress, you cannot reset iLO until the process is finished.
iLO reset methods
• Click Reset on the Diagnostics page in the iLO web interface.
• Use the CLI.
• Use the BMC Configuration Utility.
• Use the server UID button on supported servers.
• Use the iLO RESTful API.
• Use IPMI.
If none of these methods are available or working as expected, you must power down the server
and disconnect the power supplies.
