DESCRIPTION:   Firmware for the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
               Integrated Lights-Out 5 Management Controller


LAST RECOMMENDED OR CRITICAL VERSION: 1.11


PREVIOUS VERSION: 1.11

UPGRADE REQUIREMENTS: RECOMMENDED

  Users should update to this firmware version if their system is
  affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any
  of the enhanced functionality provided by this version.


FIRMWARE DEPENDENCY:

  For best performance, IPv6 support, and TLS v1.1 or later support, 
  Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires the following versions of the iLO 
  utilities:
  
   HPQLOCFG v5.1 
   Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample bundle 5.0.0
   HPONCFG Windows 5.1.0
   HPONCFG Linux 5.1.0
   LOCFG v5.0.0
   HPLOMIG 5.1.0

  NOTE: Updated utilities and system libraries are required to support the iLO 
  HighSecurity, FIPS, and SuiteB security states. The HPONCFG Windows utility 
  does not currently support the SuiteB security state.

KNOWN ISSUES:

   When iLO is configured to use the HighSecurity security state, firmware 
    updates must be initiated directly from the iLO web interface or through 
    the iLO RESTful API until smart components that support authentication 
    are available.
   Servers configured to use the Shared Network Port cannot receive power-on
    traps generated by the local iLO.
   The iLO .NET Integrated Remote Console fails to launch from the iLO web 
    interface when you use a valid IPv6 address.
   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 Server Platform Services 
    (SPS) Firmware. After powering off the server, wait 30 seconds before 
    initiating an SPS firmware update.
   With the release of iLO 5, some new features and capabilities available 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 new 
    iLO security states and extended user privileges. The iLO RESTful API is the 
    preferred programmatic interface for Gen10 and later systems, and the preferred 
    CLI/scripting tool is the RESTful Interface Tool (iLOrest).

FIXES:

The following issues are resolved in this version:

   No traps from the System Management Assistant are received when SNMP is disabled 
    in the  iLO web interface.
   The power profile cannot be changed through the iLO web interface.
   Network transmission graph data is not populated in Active Health System logs.
   The NVDIMM firmware version is not displayed on the iLO web interface Installed 
    Firmware page.
   The iLO web interface intermittently displays incorrect memory status after a system 
    reset.
   The iLO  RESTful API does not provide a method to get current cipher information.
   The Server Power page stalls when loading the server power information.
   Nothing happens when you click the Import button on the HPE SSO page.
   Secure boot cannot be configured through the iLO RESTful API, even if the pending 
    configuration is in UEFI mode.
   The maximum available power is displayed incorrectly.
   If the IML contains a maintenance note, the first attempt to clear the log fails.   
   Certificate-based authentication returns a session URL with inconsistent case.
   Onetimeboot and Continuousboot do not  take effect in iLOrest.
   Virtual Media status is not displayed in the Java IRC.
   The local client keyboard might get disabled when the Java IRC  is in use.
   An iLO  Federation authentication error might occur when group names with unsupported
    characters are used in URLs without correct encoding.
   An issue occurs when copying or restoring certificate mapping entries using fingerprints.
   An iLO web interface error occurs after an installed certificate was deleted by using
    the iLO RESTful API.
   An Internal Error occurs when HPONCFG for Linux is used with a server that uses the 
    SuiteB security state.
   SNMPv3 user details cannot be modified  through RIBCL.
   A false positive Insecure Cache Management Policy issue is reported by some security 
    scanners.


ENHANCEMENTS:

This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:

   iLO backup and restoreThis feature allows you to restore the iLO configuration on a 
    system with the same hardware configuration as the system that was backed up. For 
    example, you could use this feature if the system board is replaced, an accidental or
    incorrect configuration change occurred, or iLO was set to the factory default settings. 
    This feature is not meant to duplicate a configuration and apply it to a different iLO 
    system.
   AMD platform support
   Support for diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256.
   Support for multiple destination AlertMail email addresses. Enter the addresses separated 
    by a semicolon.
   iLO RESTful API features:
    - Aux Power Reset
	- Jitter Control features to get and set Jitter Control Mode and Frequency
   New iLO RESTful API properties to bridge the gap between RIBCL and iLO RESTful API features:
	- High Efficiency Mode
	- Encryption-related properties and Cache Module Serial Number
	- Login Security Banner
	- Current Power on Time (provides the time since the system was last powered on).
	- Persistent Mouse/Keyboard Enabled
   New iLO RESTful API  events for NVDIMM Init Error and Runtime Firmware Authentication Error.

DOCUMENTATION -

1.  iLO 5 documentation is available at http://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.
