iLO firmware and software management

iLO supports the following firmware and software management features:

• Viewing installed firmware.

• Replacing the active system ROM with the redundant system ROM.

• Using the Update Firmware controls to install firmware on the local managed server.

• Viewing installed software.

• Managing maintenance windows. You can apply maintenance windows to tasks that you add to the installation queue.

• Accessing the iLO with integrated Smart Update features. This version of iLO supports the following actions:

  • View and manage the components in the iLO Repository.

  • Add components from the iLO Repository to the installation queue.

  • View and manage tasks in the installation queue.

    The best practice is to use SUM to manage the installation queue. For more information, see the SUM documentation.

You can access the Update Firmware, Upload to iLO Repository, and Add to Queue controls from all tabs on the Firmware & OS Software page.
