have tested that the file exist and can put that in another machines browser and downloads the file.
The base line came from the spp cd which was extracted into the folder(have also let it download from hp) just in case

Re: hp SUM Manager update problems

well i oufnd the problems

here is the solution

 

HP Smart Update Manager (SUM) 5.x - Unable to Update HP ProLiant iLO3 Firmware from 1.2x to 1.50 Issue

If using HP SUM bundled in the HP Support Pack for ProLiant (SPP) in order to update the HP ProLiant iLO3 firmware from 1.2x to 1.50 remotely, the update will fail.

The installation will report as failed, and the HP SUM error log will show the following:



====== HP Smart Update Manager Installation Log ======
Starting ILO firmware update.

Mon Jan 14 11:33:27 2013

Unable to retrieve a valid iLO3 firmware image. Check file path and login credentials.

This issue is due to a bug in the iLO3 firmware.

HP SUM executes the load -source command from iLO3 SSH console, but when the iLO3 web pooler proceeds to download the firmware file, it will fail.

Therefore, it is an iLO3 issue and not with HP SUM.

NOTE: This issue does not happen if running HP SUM locally, only when trying remote updates.

Solution

This issue does not occur in 1.1x or 1.50 and later firmware.

NOTE: In order to update iLO3 to 1.50, the iLO3 firmware must be in the 1.2x versions.

As a workaround, use the following options:

  1. Run the iLO3 firmware update locally on the server.

The firmware will be transferred via the iLO3 driver.

  1. If need to update several systems remotely, use the iLO RIBCL XML scripts.

Use the script Update_Firmware.xml as a template.
