Query: iLO 5 Firmware Jump Upgrade for BL460c Gen10 blades

[JockHowie]

Greetings of the day

I have a dozen BL460c Gen10 blades on iLO 2.48 ( Aug 02 2021 ) and ROM firmware I41 v2.32 ( 03/09/2020 )

What upgrade paths do you recommend to the latest versions ?

• I41 v3.20 (05/27/2024)
• 3.06 Jul 16 2024

Actually, is  2.90_07-20-2023.fwpkg  the most recent supported I41 ROM firmware for the BL460c Gen10 ?  I've attached screenshots that advise both from ROM Flash Firmware Package - HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10 (I41) Servers | HPE Support and the asset page for one of our blades https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/asset...

Gah I was fooled by the eccentric sort order in the ROM versions menu - I found v3.20 on the BL460c product page so I expect it's supported OK - but how many steps are required to upgrade from v2.32 ?

Hello,

The installed versions of the iLO and BIOS are outdated.

If there are no compatibility requirements with the firmware and driver versions , I recommend using the SPP to update both the firmware and drivers.

If you only plan to update only the BIOS and iLO, here is the suggested procedure.

iLO : 2.48 -> 2.71 -> 2.78 -> 2.90 -> 3.06 (Latest).

BIOS : 2.32 -> 2.58 -> 2.76 -> 2.90 -> 3.20 (Latest).

Cheers...
