Unable to update ILO2 firmware

Greg Moxham — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:15:29 GMT

I have a few old boxes running ilo2 firmware versions 1.13, 1.11 and 1.03.

I can't seem to be able to upgrade to the newest 1.70 firmware.

I have tried extracting the firmware image from the CP010302.scexe file, but get a .bin file (ilo2_170).bin and the ilo2 web interface requests a .brk file.

If I tried to upload the ilo2_170.bin file, I get the error "HTTP/1.0 412 Request Entity Too Large"

Any ideas?

If they are "older" boxes they might be iLO and not iLO2.

what model ProLiant are they?

DL 320's, and a single DL360 with an add-in card.

The web interface says ilo2 though (see attachment)

I've updated my other 360's running the onboard ilo1 with a .bin firmware with no problems.

Thanks for the reply by the way :)

The attached image is for the add on RILOE II card "Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II". Not the same thing as iLO2

This link should take you to the support site where you can get the firmware, pick your OS from the list

RILOE was a plug-in card

iLO 1st generation embedded

iLO2 2nd generation embedded

Hope this helps
