iLO network Failed Flash Recovery
Most firmware upgrades finish successfully. In the unlikely event of server power loss during an
iLO firmware upgrade, iLO might be recoverable when power is restored.
When the computer is booting, the kernel performs image validation on the main image. If the
image is corrupted or incomplete, the kernel enters Failed Flash Recovery. Failed Flash Recovery
activates an FTP server within iLO. The FTP server enables you to send an image to iLO for
programming. The FTP server does not provide any other services.
A network client can connect to the FTP server. The user name for the connection is test, and
the password is flash. To send a firmware image to iLO, use the FTP client PUT command. After
receiving the image, iLO validates the image. If the image is a complete, signed, and valid firmware
image, the kernel begins programming the FLASH partition.
After the image is programmed into the FLASH partition, reset iLO by issuing the RESET command
to the iLO FTP server.
