Cannot Update Firmware

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 03:15:08 GMT

I'd like to update a SimpliVity node's firmware from iLO5 web console.
But the message "The file is too large" was shown when I chose SVTSP iso file as a local binary file and clicked "Flash" button.
How can I resolve this error?

My environment is below;
Hardware: SimpliVity 380 Gen10 (for vSphere)
Present iLO5 version: 1.15 Aug 17 2017
Firmware file: SVTSP-2018_0828.01.iso
Web browser: Chrome

Operation:
Click "Firmware & OS Software" --> Click "Update Firmware" --> Check "Local file" --> Choose iso file --> Click "Flash"

Hello Na-Ka, you can load the iso via the virtual media of the ILO console and then boot the server on it. Press F11 and choose the Virtual CD. Let the automatic firmware proceed.

Hi Philippe, thank you for your reply.

Our SimpliVity nodes were updated using iLO console not iLO5 web console.

After all, we cannot use iLO5 web console for updating firmware, can we?

If you have the license to open Remote Console on the ILO (use .NET + Internet Explorer) then in the menu bar point the virtual media to the SPP iso file, reset the host and let proceed.

G12 SPP is not bootable.

HI hpe_ltv
there is no G12 support for SimpliVity
check out the interop file https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/docDisplay?docId=sd00006698en_us&page=GUID-A92F44F2-152A-4157-9FAA-7643B71A266A.html
only G10 & G11

Discussion was around SVTSP and not SPP (not the same)
