How to upgrade Debian on iLO Amplifier Pack VM?

[Rich76]

I've inherited a VM which runs the HPE iLO Amplifier Pack (v2.23). Our vulnerability management system has alerted to Debian 10 being end of life on that server.

My question is, how do I actually get to the shell in order to update it?

If I Putty to the server IP, I'm presented with the iLO Amp CLI, but not the Debian shell.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi @Rich76 ,
    I believe, it is better to freshly download the latest version of iLO amplifier pack.  Deploy it as a VM (using appliance file .ova)  on hypervisor.
    Please refer this iLO Amplifier user guide, page no.23 for debian and page no. 16 for other supported OS.

Hello,

I am not sure if an appliance provider would provide a way to the core shell of the appliance itself!

Hi @shiva_jr 

Thanks for your reponse.
I've had a link at the link and the Amplifier pack we're runnin on that VM is already version 2.23 - this is the latest version available according to HP.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi @Rich76 ,
    As per HPE site, version 2.23 has been released on Jun 07, 2024. I believe, this is the latest.
