ILO5 Firmware update for Gen10 Blades via Onboard Admistrator
So, trying to mass update ILO5 on Gen10 Blades on a C7000 chassis using the UPDATE command from my Onboard Administrators running v4.80. Haven't tried this with Gen10s before, been doing it for years with previous versions.
update ilo all http://<URL>/ilo5_120.bin
Previous versions are still working great. However, when I tried the above command to update all Gen10 Blades, my Onboard Administrator crashed and rebooted. Wondering if anyone has tried this before and is seeing the same issue? Looks like the OA ran out of memory from the logs:

Apr 5 14:43:58 OA: System Out Of Memory
Apr 5 14:46:13 OA: Onboard Administrator is rebooting
ILO5 Firmware is double the size of ILO4 (32MB vs 16MB), so I'm guessing that contributed. Just wondering if this is a supported operation. I'm not seeing anything that says it's not. I don't have a ton of Gen10 Servers, but I would prefer to not have to update those individually if I have to...

Re: ILO5 Firmware update for Gen10 Blades via Onboard Admistrator
Wait for next release of OA firmware. To validate more on this you can log a support ticket with HPE.

Re: ILO5 Firmware update for Gen10 Blades via Onboard Admistrator
It is now 2020 and I am using OA 4.85 and the problem still occurs.
The OA rebooted itself after running out of memory. To be sure it wasn't a one-off, I tried again. Sure enough, it restarted itself again.
I have done this operation countless times successfully with iLO2 and earlier releases of OA.

Re: ILO5 Firmware update for Gen10 Blades via Onboard Admistrator
Hi @Jonathan Schroeber, @ouzo12
This seems like a concurrent update limitation of OA.
Based on my understanding firmware update is two step process:
- Downloading the image, and
- Flashing the image.
While doing firmware update for multiple blades OA will attempt to download firmware for a blade while another download is in progress so there are chances that it may fail since it download the same file everytime before first download complete.
However you can try following:
1. Check if individual blade ilo update works:
e.g:
OA1> update ilo 1 http://<URL>/ilo5_120.bin
OA1> update ilo 2 http://<URL>/ilo5_120.bin
2. Instead of ALL try 4-5 blades at a time.
e.g:
OA1> update ilo 1,2,3,4 http://<URL>/ilo5_120.bin
3 . Update OA to 4.95 (latest firmware) and check.

Re: ILO5 Firmware update for Gen10 Blades via Onboard Admistrator
Hi,
I tried 4 BL460s only and it still died. And because of change management, I cannot just upgrade the OA. Neither do I have time to muck about trying different versions etc. This should just work, like it did in the past.
In the end, I updated the BL460s from their iLO pages one by one. Disappointing.

Re: ILO5 Firmware update for Gen10 Blades via Onboard Admistrator
Hi,
Certainly it should work, future firmware should fix it.
However,
I believe you should raise a support case with HPE to investigate this issue.
