Update-HPiLOFirmware failed due to a TPM has been detected in this system

[jakle]

Hello,

IHAC who is trying to update the BIOS firmware on their Gen10 servers using PowerShell and iLO cmdlets. Customer is using the command Update-HPiLOServerFirmware, see attached screenshot but it complains that TPM is not enabled. The output of Get-HPiLOTPMStatus shows however that TPM is already enabled. How do we persuade Update-HPiLOServerFirmware to see that TPM_ENABLED is set to "yes"?

PS output:

Update-HPiLOFirmware -Server 192.168.1.10 -DisableCertificateAuthentication -Username "Administrator" -Password "Password" -Location C:\Users\Klecka\Downloads\U32_1.36_02_14_2018.signed.bin

Your help is much appreciated, thank you!

Hi,

Its simple you need to use -TPMEnabled switch when TPM is present and in your case you have TPM present so you need to add below swtich to make firmware update happen.

Update-HPiLOFirmware -TPMEnabled 

You should keep this in mind that 1.5.x version of iLO cmdlets offically does not support gen10 but it might work in many cases but we do working on the next release which is 2.0 supporting Gen10 servers.

Thanks,

Gokul
