Query: iLO 4

[Matthew-91]

Hi.

Our customer has a ProLiant ML350 Gen9  Integrated Lights-Out 4 2.54  Jun 17 and can be updated to 2.82. 

I am attempting to get a configuration backup of the existing settings before completing the upgrade but cannot locate this on WebUI. 

Please can you advise of how we can obtain this? I cannot seem to find documentation. 

Thanks in advance for any support.

Dear  Matthew-91 

Please download iLO4 firmware codes from Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - HPE Integrated Lights-Out 4. after download this exe file. extract into a folder. then browse server iLO IP address on browser, and log into web console. Then navigate firmware update tab and update extracted bin file to flash. Please check Updating iLO or server firmware by using the iLO web interface.

Hope, I could provide you with clear and helpful instructions. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help! Have a great day!!
