I noticed the firmware update CD is a Linux OS, I would like to do a network boot (PXE) to update my servers to I don't have to mount the ISO image. I have it booting, but doesn't come up with the GUI to upgrade. Has anybody done this?
Questions 1.What is the server model ? Is it DL,ML or BL servers ? 2.Are you trying to Updrade the firmware of servers (Ex :System ROM) using iLO by mounting the Firmware Maintainance CD ISO image ? Please provide us some more info on what actually you are trying to do.

I am now using PXE to boot a RedHat Kickstart so I can install the OS across NFS, because I found that mounting the iso off a remote machine is slow (especially if the image is across the internet).
The PXE boot and method is very fast, so I figured why not use PXE to boot the firmware ISO since it seems like the underlying OS of the firmware updater is using linux.
Currently I have the default PXE boot bring up a menu, so I can select which option I want to do. I can boot from disk, install RedHat 3, RedHat 4, or boot the firmware iso. Currently it's starting initrd and the kernel, but doesn't go to the next step.
