Don’t worry even if you are not a command line ninja you can handle these simple instructions.įirst thing we need to do is enable SSH / Telnet. We need to use the command line to perform these updates.
So what are you to do if you have the right voodoo of Internet Explorer, Windows, and Java? Well luckily we do not needa browser to perform a firmware update. Luckily some of these issues are fixed by HP with firmware updates, but a broken web interface that will not let you upload a firmware image is less than helpful… it is down right annoying. ILO is not without its faults, however, buggy firmware, Internet explorer dependency, Java compatability and so on make it a bit cumbersome to use in today’s mixed OS environments. This tool works wonderful for remotely accessing your system, bios, post screens, remote media and troubleshooting.
Most HP Servers ship with an out-of-band management tool called iLO (Integrated Lights Out).
