DESCRIPTION: Firmware for the Hewlett-Packard
iLO 4 Management Controller
LAST RECOMMENDED OR CRITICAL VERSION: 2.03
PREVIOUS VERSION: 2.03
UPGRADE REQUIREMENTS: RECOMMENDED
Users should update to this firmware version if their system is
affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of
the enhanced functionality provided by this version.
FIRMWARE DEPENDENCY:
For best performance and IPv6 support, HP recommends upgrading to the latest versions
of the iLO utilities:
• HPQLOCFG 1.3.0 (replaced CPQLOCFG)
• HP Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample 4.50 bundle
• HPONCFG 4.5.0.0 (Windows)
• HPONCFG 4.4.0.0 (Linux)
• LOCFG.PL 4.50 (included in the HP Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample bundle)
• HPLOMIG 4.50 (upgrade HPLOMIG before installing this version of iLO 4)
KNOWN ISSUES: None
Fixes:
The following issues are resolved in this version:
• An iLO kernel crash after 40 or more days of uptime under certain operating systems can
lead to an operating system crash. When this occurs, the iLO Event Log records a
“Power restored to iLO” event at the time of the OS crash.
• iLO might send multiple SNMP traps that show the Smart Array battery falsely
changing status (SNMP trap ID 11020).
• iLO firmware updates might stay at 1% and never finish.
• ADH ciphers are accepted in iLO 4 when AES is enabled.
• Incorrect information is displayed on the Information > System Information > Network page
when there are similar MAC addresses.
• SSDP advertisements have bad signatures and iLO Federation groups don't display all
peers.
• Power supply sensors are not illustrated in the Temperature graph.
• The iLO Event Log reports that a firmware update failed even though the firmware was
updated successfully with the HP SUM Scalable Update feature.
• The .NET IRC disconnects unexpectedly when playing a captured video file.
• The Ping Gateway on Startup network setting does not work.
• In some cases, running the Advanced Power Capping Microcontroller Firmware causes
future component updates to fail.
• The UID LED might stop blinking when the Remote Console is still open after a system
power cycle.
• The invalid error "Duplicate record exists" occurs while adding a new directory group.
• A user with the Virtual Power and Reset privilege cannot use the Swap ROM feature.
• DL580 servers report an incorrect Power Redundancy state on removal of a power supply
cable.
• Intermittent missing OS name and version in get_server_name response.
• iLO Dedicated Network Port options are displayed on DL60 servers, which support only the
Shared Network Port configuration.
• An incorrect error message is displayed when auto power-off is set via XML scripting
during POST.
• The Get_Embedded_Health.xml output displays incorrect iLO NIC information.
• The user name is not displayed in the iLO Event Log when a Language Pack is uninstalled.
• There is a discrepancy between the iLO web interface and XML scripting when an HP SSO
record is added by DNS name.
• The Serial Command Line Speed setting is not saved when the speed is changed in the
iLO 4 Configuration Utility.
• LDAP does not work after updating from iLO firmware version 1.40 to 1.50.
• New iLO Federation groups default to the power capping value from a previously deleted
group.
• The Link State NIC setting is displayed on the Network General Settings page for BL460t
servers when this setting is not supported on server blades.
• SNMP and SNMP trap ports cannot be set without the SNMP_ACCESS tag.
• The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the AlertMail settings are changed
via RIBCL and CLP.
• The power redundancy status is incorrect when a mismatched power supply is inserted
without a power cord.
• The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the Remote Syslog settings are changed
via RIBCL.
• An incorrect error message occurs when the server name is set via XML during POST.
• The Asset Tag can be configured via XML when the server is off.
• An invalid domain name can be configured in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.
• The iLO 4 Configuration Utility prompts the user to save and reset iLO when no change
was made.
• Cert_Request.xml does not display an error when invalid characters are used for the
state, country and locality.
• If the Delete SSH Key button is clicked when no SSH key is installed, the message
"Public Key deleted" is displayed even though there was no installed SSH key.
• When the RESTful Interface Tool is used to display the system ROM version, the output
incorrectly displays the backup system ROM version.
• The CLI does not display the oemhp_powercap information when power capping is disabled.
• Multiple incorrect "faulty/unsupported power supply" messages are recorded in
configurations that use the HP 800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module or the HP Server
RPS Backplane Kit.
• pwrstat displays incorrect power supply status information for the HP 800W/900W Gold AC
Power Input Module and the HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.
• An intermittent virtual CD disconnection occurs during a system reboot.
Note: To address the “POODLE” security vulnerability, the iLO security policy has
changed and SSLv3 is now disabled. You might need to enable TLS (Transport Layer Security)
in your browser in order to access the iLO web interface. TLS is the successor to SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer).
Enhancements:
This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:
• New CLI and RIBCL commands for sending SNMP test traps.
• Agentless Management support for standup storage card firmware versions.
• The iLO IP address can now be used as the SubjectAltName in a certificate signing
request.
• IPMI transport over IPv6.

the standard parameters.
• The functionality of Lock_Configuration.xml was extended to include restricting the IPMI
interface from the system channel.
• Support for IPMI 2.0 PEF and PET generation was added to the IPMI interface.

3. You might encounter a “data inconsistency error” when you use iLO Federation
Management. This error occurs when an iLO on your network is not
responding correctly. Use the data on the Multi-System map page to troubleshoot data
inconsistency errors.
DOCUMENTATION -
1. iLO 4 documentation is available at http://www.hp.com/go/iLO/docs.
2. Check the online help for information about how to use iLO. To access the
online help, Click the question mark icon in the upper right corner of
any iLO web interface page.
HOW TO USE -
1. Download the iLO 4 Online Firmware Update Component for your
operating system.
2. Install the firmware using one of these options:
a) Run the component on the host to be updated.
The component will update the iLO 4 firmware and reset the iLO processor.
b) Extract the firmware from the component. This will place the firmware
image file, iLo4_yyy.bin (where yyy represents the firmware version), in
the target directory. You now have these options:
i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Update Firmware page, and update the
firmware from there.
ii) Use the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG) and RIBCL/XML
scripts to update iLO 4 across the network.
iii) Use the HP Online Lights-Out Configuration utility (HPONCFG) and
RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 4 from the supported host OS.
3. iLO automatically resets after a successful update.
There is no need to manually reboot the iLO.
