Viewing and updating firmware from the iLO web interface
The iLO web interface supports the following firmware and software management features:
• Viewing installed firmware.
• Viewing installed software.
• Using the Flash Firmware controls to install firmware on the local managed server.
• Using the Group Firmware Update feature to install firmware on multiple servers in an iLO
Federation group.
• Accessing the iLO with integrated Smart Update features. This version of iLO supports the
following actions:
◦ Manage the iLO Repository and add saved components to the installation queue.
◦ View and remove install sets and add them to the installation queue.
◦ Use SUM to configure install sets.
The best practice is to use SUM to manage the installation queue. You can use the iLO
web interface to update the queue by adding or removing an individual component.
You can access the iLO Repository and the Flash Firmware controls from all tabs on the
Firmware & OS Software page.
