KNOWN ISSUES: - When you configure iLO to use the HighSecurity security state, you must initiate firmware updates from the iLO web interface or through the iLO RESTful API until smart components that support authentication are available. - To connect to the iLO Service Port with a USB Ethernet adapter, you must use a USB 2.0 device that is based on the AX88772 series chipset from ASIX Electronics Corporation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the HPE USB to Ethernet Adapter (part number Q7Y55A). - The server must be powered off when you update the Server Platform Services (SPS) Firmware or the Innovation Engine (IE) Firmware. After powering off the server, wait 30 seconds before initiating an SPS or IE firmware update. - With the release of iLO 5, some features in the iLO web interface are not supported by RIBCL or the CLI. Instead, HPE recommends the use of the iLO RESTful API, particularly for setting the iLO security state and configuring extended user privileges. The iLO RESTful API is the preferred programmatic interface for Gen10 and later systems. The preferred CLI and scripting tool is the RESTful Interface Tool (iLOREST). - Starting with iLO 5 1.20, SNMP settings are not backward compatible with older iLO firmware versions. - The SNMP settings are discarded when you downgrade the firmware to an earlier version. - When you start an iLO web interface session and launch the HTML5 Integrated Remote Console (IRC), these interfaces are considered to be a single iLO session. This behavior is different from the .NET IRC and the Java IRC, which are separate sessions from the iLO web interface. The Idle Connection Timeout specifies how long a session can be inactive before it ends automatically. If you start a Virtual Media operation (such as an OS installation), and the Idle Connection Timeout is reached, the HTML5 IRC and the iLO web interface close automatically, and the Virtual Media operation is interrupted. To avoid this issue, you can set the Idle Connection Timeout to a longer value, use a different Remote Console, or make sure that the session is not idle during the Virtual Media operation. FIXES: The following issues are resolved in this version: - Implemented the set server info command for all the DCi supporting options in previous versions of iLO 5 which may reset NIC settings during iLO 5 update. 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 5 Security Technology Brief for the latest on security best practices at:  https://www.hpe.com/support/ilo5-security-en ENHANCEMENTS: This version adds support for the following features and enhancements: - None SUPPORT: 1. iLO 5 firmware updates and utilities can be found here: https://www.hpe.com/support/iLO5 2.

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 5 documentation is available at https://www.hpe.com/support/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 5 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 5 firmware and reset the iLO processor. b) Extract the firmware from the component. This will place the firmware image file, iLO5_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 5 across the network. iii) Use the Online Lights-Out Configuration utility (HPONCFG) and RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 5 from the supported host OS. 3. iLO automatically resets after a successful update. There is no need to manually reset iLO. Copyright 2002,2020 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development, LP
