Unable to apply Intelligent Provisioning 3.40 to Gen10 compute modules SY480 or SY660

[PatrickLong]

I downloaded latest Intelligent Provisioning 3.40 .iso from Support Site and booted with it but the new Intelligent Provisioning version would not apply, showing two error screens - the first said "The firmware version of iLO is old can't continue flashing" and the second said "Error flashing the NVRAM - please try again". My iLO is already at the latest released version 1.46 for iLo 5, and the Release Notes tab of the download specifies that the minimum required iLO version is only 1.30 - which is obviously many versions earlier.  HPE Support suggested I reset the iLO to factory and retry - which I did but got the same errors. Has anyone successfully applied this 3.4.0 Intelligent Provisioning update to Gen10 Synergy systems?

Thanks,

Patrick

HPE Support answered this question for me...  The IntPro 3.40 release requires iLo 2.x or greater.  They were released simultaneously but there was an issue with the signature on the iLo update file so it was pulled.  The iLo 5 major update v 2.10 is due to be re-issued on or about 12/18/2019.  You must be on iLo 5 v 1.40 or later to upgrade directly to iLo 5 v 2.10, other wise you need to perform an upgrade to 1.40 first, and then to 2.10.

Yes, you found the answer, iLO firmware 2.10 would fix the issue.
