These improvements reduce wear and increase the NAND lifespan. ***ATTENTION*** Note for ESXi users: If you are booted from the Embedded SD Card, it is strongly recommended that you reboot the server immediately after updating the iLO firmware. FIRMWARE DEPENDENCY: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends upgrading to the minimum versions of the iLO utilities: - RESTful Interface Tool (iLOREST) 2.3 - HPQLOCFG v5.2 - Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample bundle 5.10.0 - HPONCFG Windows 5.2.0 - HPONCFG Linux 5.3.0 - LOCFG v5.10.0 - HPLOMIG 5.2.0 KNOWN ISSUES: - Fibre Channel Ports are displayed with degraded status if they are configured but not attached. Fixes: The following issues are resolved in this version: - iLO 4 unexpectedly restored itself to factory default settings when an user did not initiate the process. - When Auto Power-On is set to Always Power On to Restore Last Power State, the server might not power on after a cold reset. - False nonvolatile flash memory (NAND) test failures might occur after a firmware upgrade. - Incorrect RAM and Storage values are displayed on the HPE OneView for VMware vCenter tab. - Remote Support disk events include the text "Not Available" for the variables when data is missing. - Some Power Supply information is missing from the iLO web interface. - iLO displays Failed status instead of Disabled status when the Smart Array Cache Module battery is disconnected. - An iLO SSH port disconnection issue was observed after more than two days of continuous operation. - Values do not move up when the preceding entries in the Directory User Context fields are cleared. - Boot failures might occur when booting with a MicroSD card in Legacy mode. - Changed the resolution of a Redfish SSD wear field to display in percentage. - The date and time settings are reset after a firmware update. - The server powers on instead of shutting down when multiple power-on requests are sent. SECURITY FIXES: For the latest security bulletins and vulnerabilities addressed in this version, please visit: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/home Security best practices: Please refer to the HPE Integrated Lights-Out Security Technology Brief for the latest on security best practices at: http://www.hpe.com/support/iLO4_security_en Enhancements: This version adds support for the following features and enhancements: - IPMI/DCMI over LAN access is disabled by default on new servers with iLO 4 2.60. - IPMI/DCMI over LAN access is disabled after you reset iLO 4 2.60 to the factory default settings. - Each time iLO starts, it backs up the iLO configuration to the nonvolatile flash memory (NAND). If the SRAM is erased, the configuration is automatically restored. - Improved Active Health System logging efficiency to prolong the NAND lifespan. - Added iLO health status to the Overview page. If the status is Degraded, this value is also displayed on the Login page. - Added an SNMP trap for a power fault condition on Gen8 servers. - Added the list of open source licenses to the login page. - Added a Format Embedded Flash and reset iLO button to the Diagnostics page. When directed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise support, you can use this feature to recover Active Health System functionality. - Re-signed the Java IRC to extend the certificate expiration date. - Re-signed the .NET IRC to extend the certificate expiration date. With this enhancement, the .NET IRC requires version 4.5.1 or later of the .NET Framework. - Added the ability to remove a SSL certificate and regenerate the iLO self-signed certificate. Note: HPE recommends using a CA signed certificate. Feature previews: - Shared Network Port, port selection: Allows you to choose between port 1 and port 2 for Shared Network Port functionality. You can configure this setting on the Network > Shared Network Port > General page in the iLO web interface. NOTE: Not all sideband NICs are supported. In some cases, port 2 might not be fully functional.

You might encounter a "data inconsistency error" when you use iLO Federation Management. This error occurs when an iLO on your network is not responding correctly. Use the data on the Multi-System map page to troubleshoot data inconsistency errors. DOCUMENTATION - 1. iLO 4 documentation is available at http://www.hpe.com/info/iLO/docs. 2. Check the online help for information about how to use iLO. To access the online help, Click the question mark icon in the upper right corner of any iLO web interface page. HOW TO USE - 1. Download the iLO 4 Online Firmware Update Component for your operating system. 2. Install the firmware using one of these options: a) Run the component on the host to be updated. The component will update the iLO 4 firmware and reset the iLO processor. b) Extract the firmware from the component. This will place the firmware image file, iLo4_yyy.bin (where yyy represents the firmware version), in the target directory. You now have these options: i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Update Firmware page, and update the firmware from there. ii) Use the Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG) and RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 4 across the network. iii) Use the Online Lights-Out Configuration utility (HPONCFG) and RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 4 from the supported host OS. 3. iLO automatically resets after a successful update. There is no need to manually reset iLO. Copyright 2002,2018 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development, LP
