automatically using DHCP. You can also perform a DDNS update through the primary DNS server
as long as it is authoritative for the zone.
If no DNS server IP addresses are specified, or the DNS domain is undefined, DNS is not used.
If an IP address was obtained through DHCP, an add name request is sent to the DDNS server if
it is enabled and registered.
Command line usage and scripting:
DNS [ [ -server <e|d> ] [ -domain <text> ] [ -name <e|d> ]
[ -register <y|n> ] [ -1ip <ipaddr> ] [ -2ip <ipaddr> ]
[ -all default ] [ -nc ]

FW: Upgrade the MP firmware
The FW command upgrades iLO MP or specific system programmable firmware. If you are only
upgrading the iLO MP firmware, the iLO MP automatically resets upon successful completion and
drops all iLO MP LAN connections. To use this feature, you must have the Configure iLO Settings
user right.
This upgrade does not affect server operation if it is for iLO MP only.
If this upgrade is system programmable firmware, the upgrade continues when the system power
is off.
NOTE: It can take up to ten minutes before the server begins to boot.
To download and upgrade the firmware package from the HP website, see http://www.hp.com/
go/bizsupport.
IMPORTANT: When performing a firmware upgrade that contains system programmable
hardware, you must properly shut down any operating system that is running before starting the
firmware upgrade process.
Select the download for Integrity firmware and follow the directions provided in the release notes.
CAUTION: If the firmware upgrade process is interrupted at any time, the core I/O will need to
be repaired or replaced.
At the end of the upgrade process, the iLO MP is reset. Reconnect and log in.
If a firmware request is pending when you enter the FW command, a SYSREV table appears. You
will be prompted to either cancel the firmware upgrade request or exit. Follow the prompts on the
screen.
TIP: Before performing certain iLO 3 functions, verify that you have the supported firmware
version required to carry out the task.
Command line usage and scripting:
FW [ -url <http|https>://host/filepath> [-force <e\d>] [ -nc ] ]
[ -cancel [ -nc ] ]
