For example, if a server has iLO 5 v1.10 installed, install iLO 5 v1.48 first, and then install iLO 5 v2.60. - Minimum supported iLO version for Gen 10 plus Intel platform is iLO 5 v2.42. FIRMWARE DEPENDENCY: Please note the supported version of AMS with iLO 5 v2.60 is 2.5.0 for Windows and Linux components, while it is 2021.10.01 for VMware component. Failure to use this version will result in loss of manageability of storage components that are managed by AMS. The behavior of iLO will be unpredictable if this version of AMS is not used with iLO 5 v2.60. Install iLO 5 v2.60 version of firmware on HPE ProLiant e910 Server Blade using Service Pack for Edgeline (SPE). Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the following or greater versions of iLO utilities for best performance: - RESTful Interface Tool (iLOREST) 3.3.0 - HPQLOCFG v5.3.0 - Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample bundle 5.40.0 - HPONCFG Windows 5.5.0 - HPONCFG Linux 5.6.0 - LOCFG v5.40.0 or later - HPLOMIG 5.3.0 NOTE: Updated utilities and system libraries are required to support the iLO High Security, FIPS, and CNSA security states. NOTE: With the release of iLO 5, some features of iLO are not supported by RIBCL or the CLI. Instead, Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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). KNOWN ISSUES: - 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). - Starting with iLO 5 v1.20, 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 the iLO web interface, and then you launch the HTML5 IRC, these interfaces are counted as 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. - To support power usage reporting and optimum server thermal fan control on Linux servers with NVIDIA GPU option cards: Blacklist the nouveau video driver, and then load the NVIDIA GPU driver in persistent mode by entering the following command: nvidia-smi -pm 1 - DIMM power reporting in iLO UI/UX graphs would be removed and REST APIs would display 0 Watts on Gen10 and Gen10 Plus AMD platforms because of incorrect reporting - On certain HPE Mellanox adapters that support dual port personality (InfiniBand/Ethernet), the port personality gets reset to the default value during an adapter firmware update. o For more information, refer to the below Customer Advisory on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00068199en_us. o The document lists iLO 5 v1.48 as the minimum version to install before an adapter firmware update. However, iLO 5 v1.48 or later is required before updating to iLO 5 v2.44 or later. - iLO supports up to 10 attempts for automatic certificate enrollments with the SCEP server. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends to reset iLO after 10 failed attempts. - iLO allows removal of SSL certificate through SSH even though the Automatic Certificate Enrollment (ACE) feature is enabled. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends not to remove SSL certificate when the ACE feature is enabled. In case the SSL certificate is removed, iLO generates a self-signed certificate. In such scenario, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends to reconfigure the ACE feature. FIXES: Fixed an issue where Network Tab page in iLO GUI doesn’t refresh automatically post Server Reset. "StructuredName" Redfish Property is hidden when the value of this field is an empty string. Improved monitoring of temperature sensors on N3000 option cards. Fixed an issue where iLO may become inaccessible after consecutive setting of factory defaults. Improved power supply information reporting on Edgeline servers. Intelligent Provisioning not accessible after a rare server reboot. SECURITY FIXES: For information about the latest security bulletins and vulnerabilities addressed in this version, see the following website: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/home. Security best practices: For the latest information about security best practices, see the HPE Integrated Lights-Out Security Technology Brief at the following website: http://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-docs. ENHANCEMENTS: Support for Automatic SSL Certificate Enrollment using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol. Addition of DIMM Manufacture date in Redfish output of Memory Resource. Added monitoring of User-defined temperature threshold for PCI Zone sensors on Edgeline servers.

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 can use the following methods to install firmware: i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Flash Firmware page, and update the firmware from there. ii) Use the iLO RESTful API or ILOREST. For more information, see the following website: http://www.hpe.com/support/restfulinterface/docs. iii) Use the Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG) and RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 5 across the network. iv) 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 2002-2021 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development, LP
