I do not have the option to downgrade (which i believe is on newer firmware) so i am now at a loss as to what to do next, the blades in the chassis are production so downtime would be limited to out of hours / weekend, but happy to try any constructive comments!<BR /><BR />Tried looking for instructions for flashing the ilo via a direct cable connection to the back of the module but couldn't find anything<BR /><BR />Many thanks in advance<BR /><BR />Simon Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:52:00 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/ilo-firware-upgrade-on-c-class-blade-chassis/m-p/5092767#M14443 ssbrown19 2008-02-15T10:52:00Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/ilo-firware-upgrade-on-c-class-blade-chassis/m-p/5092768#M14444 So you have 2 OAs - you can try plugging out one of them, the to flash the one, who is left installed (and active at the moment), after the update just install the second and remove the already updated OA for a while.<BR /><BR />You can try with the 2.12 version.<BR /><BR />Regards, Fri, 15 Feb 2008 11:26:16 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/ilo-firware-upgrade-on-c-class-blade-chassis/m-p/5092768#M14444 Mi6t0 2008-02-15T11:26:16Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/ilo-firware-upgrade-on-c-class-blade-chassis/m-p/5092769#M14445 Many thanks that worked a treat, got to love the simple ones!
