Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
LO100i was a 3rd party BMC with HP Firmware.
This was only used in some 100 series machines to save cost.
iLO 1/2/3/4 are all HP Designed ASIC (Processor).
As of Gen8, LO100i is no longer used and all new models have iLO4.
So while the help is appreciated, stop giving him download links for iLO :)

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
PS: It looks like you can only do a USB Firmware update on those LO100i models like Torsten reccomended.
Download this and run it from a WINDOWS machine to create the USB Key.
Then you can put the USB Key into the DL180 and boot from it.

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
Doh. Sorry. I only saw "I have ilo1 and 2" early on and missed the later information.

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
Ok thank you guys. I now know that they are only Lights-Out 100i Remote Management no way of ILO. And there seems to be only usb media key. But I can make is iso maybe and use PXE boot to flash LO.
Only think I still wonder, do you think PXE boot can be used to flash firmware logically?

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
If you download the above SP62696.exe I linked to, you will find you can extract the contents with any decent zip/rar type tool.
They provide the USB contents, raw files and ISO.
The ISO is using Floppy emulation within the El Torito boot spec and is emulating a 2.88MB Floppy disk.
If you can somehow chain load that ISO over PXE, you might be able to get it to work.

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
I can not make it work. Download link for USB Media Key here does not contain bootable iso. So I edited an other bootable iso for some other server model and changed files within iso and tried with that new iso. It was fine to boot from iso and when flash process starter from pxe, I got an error that says no rom file is found to flash.
Maybe I do something wrong but do not think so. So do you know a way to make an iso from above usb media key download link for ROMPaq Flat Files folder?

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
No downloads for this firmware are an ISO image. You have can either build the bootable USB key (windows based tool) or you can use the online tool from the running OS. Debian/Ubuntu isn't listed, but have you tried executing the .scexe file from your host OS? This is the file you need for a DL180 G6 which is shown as the server model in one of the screenshots you posted earlier
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/sc-linux-fw/p809436880/v89290/CP021014.scexe
If you want to boot from a USB key to updarte you will need this file

Re: ILO Firmware update via command line with ipmitool.
Problems are,
All my servers are debian based, so I can not run the file from server. With usb key, as I said servers most of time does not detect virtual media no iso or usb key. So usb boot is not also an option for me. Only option is, PXE boot with iso file. Thats why I need iso file. But most of firmware download pages states to USB media key. And I am looking for a working way to make these usb media files iso file. Probably pxe boot will work. Other wise, I will visit datacenter :)
