iLO 2 Firmware 1.50 Update Problem

WayneKim — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:22:16 GMT

I am trying to upgrade the firmware from v.1.43 to the v.1.50 by running the command, "sh CP00877.scexe" from the server. This same command ran just fine on three other linux servers and successfully updated the iLO firmware to 1.50. However, I am having a problem with one server where, when the command is issued, the script does not proceed further than below:

FLASH_iLO2 v1.06a for Linux (Mar 5 2008)
Copyright 2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
Firmware image: ilo2_150.bin

I have tried to reset the iLO and retried the update but same result. What could be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

try sh -X name.exe.

Any dependencies mentioned in the readme file associated?

I get an invalid option on -X. Did you mean to type "sh -X CP008777.scexe"? Again, other linux servers (which are built identically with this problematic one) ran the upgrade just fine. Are there any logs that can tell me what the cause may be?

Same result. It does show more output as if it runs in verbose mode but the script stops at the same place as described above.

Avoid using a PuTTY Session when doing an iLO2 firmware updation.

1. Reboot the Server.
2. Update the iLO2 firmware through the iLO Web interface.
