ILO5 firware update fails "the file siganture is invalid"

Hello Experts,

I am trying to update a ProLiant DL385 Gen10 ILO 5 version 1.37 to a newer version 2.14. I have tried many ways but it always ends with this message:

Firmware Upload
The file signature is invalid. Make sure you are using a valid, signed flash file and try again

 

I have already check the file hash SHA256 and it is correct and also used 7zip to unzip the file cp042927.exe

Can you please suggest a solution for this.

Best Regards,

HC

Re: ILO5 firware update fails "the file siganture is invalid"

What method did you use exactly?

Update to 1.40 first, in a second step to 2.14.

This is required.

 

Installation:

To update to iLO 5 version 2.10 or later, you must have a minimum iLO 5 version of 1.40

Hope this helps!

Re: ILO5 firware update fails "the file siganture is invalid"

Hi HC, 

Since the version is currently running on 1.37, and the minimum requirement of the 2.14 version is 1.40, you will first need to update it to 1.40 or above. After that you can update it to version 2.14. 

Please try updating it to 1.40(a): https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_8c903e2afd56481ea339e3dd2d

After that, you can try updating to 2.14 : https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_a9cfde8ba427435488d972d68f#tab-history

Let us know if there are any further concerns.

Re: ILO5 firware update fails "the file siganture is invalid"

Same problem here. DL360 Gen10 with iLO5 and firmware version 1.15 (yes it's old I know...) I tried to update via iLO web-interface to 1.20, 1.40, 1.50.... "signature invalid" for all files.

Additionally to that my server also tells me that the firmware of the innovation engine (whatever that may be) needs to be re-flashed. Unfortunately it doesn't let me do that because it hangs in POST.

I'd like to point out that I downloaded the exe firmware file and used the integrated "expand" function.

EDIT: Please forget all I wrote! I somehow landed in the iLO4 firmware download site.... of course that will not work with iLO5...STUPID ME!

I'm at 1.37 on multuple ESX hosts. I followed the steps and attempted 1.40, and still getting the same error. I even tried 1.39 and still see the same error. What am I missing? is there a fix for this?

Just in case that it helps somebody:

I had two machines running 1.20. Thus I downloaded version 1.4 (ilo5_140.fwpkg) and got the "invalid signature"-message as well.

Turns out, this file needs to be unzipped and the bin-file inside is the one to go with.

Re: ILO5 firware update fails "the file siganture is invalid"

How many times did you need to unzip it? I used the unarchive utility on my Mac.

 

The original file - ilo5_233.fwpkg.cpgz

Unzip 1 - ilo5_233.fwpkg

Unzip 2 - ilo5_233.fwpkg 2

Is it supposed to be a ".bin" file? That is what I was looking to get.

If I remember correctly, I unzipped it only once (using 7-zip on Windows).

Thank you!! this should really be documented somewhere, i just renamed the file to .zip and then used windows 'Extract All' option - it's currently flashing.. presumably once i've done this i can just use the fwpkg file as is for future upgrades..

Agree! HPe's technical writers are terrible.
