• 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
• Improved IRC by allowing multiple users so simultaneously access .iso image files

Updating the Lights Out Firmware can provide enhancements and firmware is one of the first thing your vendor/service provider will ask when logging a call. Upgrading the ILO firmware can typically be done online and involves loading the firmware and restarting the ILO card (this does not reboot the server).
