DESCRIPTION:   Firmware for the Hewlett-Packard
               Integrated Lights-Out 2 Management Controller
UPDATES:
iLO Select licenses have been renamed iLO Advanced for BladeSystem.  This is does not affect licensed functionality
All new iLO Advanced and iLO Advanced for BladeSystem licenses now include one year of technical support and updates
Added support for HP Dynamic Power Capping for supported servers
Added support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for supported servers
Added support for Text Console via SMASH CLP
IRC video capture files can be played on standalone HP iLO Video Player
      
PROBLEMS FIXED SINCE LAST RELEASE:
Addressed a possible iLO Fatal exception after attempting a FW upgrade
Improved presentation of multiple properties in the iLO 2 SMASH CLP
Improved the gathering of historical power consumption data
Improved several communication paths that cause blades to lose communication with the Onboard Administrator, resulting in a "red X" presented in the OA
Fixed iLO SSH interface defect that could reset iLO and lose any active connections
Improved the robustness of firmware update to prevent potential corruption if iLO 2 is reset during a flash or the firmware update fails to complete.  An iLO firmware update may be reattempted in these cases but note that this improvement is in place only after iLO 2 v1.70 (or later) firmware is already running
Improved IRC by allowing multiple users so simultaneously access .iso image files


DOCUMENTATION -

1.  iLO 2 User Guide and Lights-Out Scripting Guide can also be found by
    following the links at:

      http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out

    Select your lights-out product, then support & documents, then manuals.

2.  Check the online help for additional information about how to use features.
    Online help can be accessed from within the browser web pages by clicking
    on the question mark in the upper right-hand corner of each page.

HOW TO USE -

1.  Download the appropriate iLO 2 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 2 firmware and reset the iLO 2 processor.

    b) Extract the firmware from the component.  This will place the firmware
       image file, iLo2_yyy.bin (where yyy represents the firmware version) in
       the target directory.  You now have these options:

       i) Login to iLO 2, navigate to the Update Firmware page, and update the
            firmware from there.

       ii) Use the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility, CPQLOCFG, and RIBCL/XML
            scripts to update iLO 2 across the network.

       iii) Use the HP Online Lights-Out Configuration utility, HPONCFG, and
            RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 2 from the supported host OS.
