I haven't done it in some time now,. If you download the HPE Scripting Toolkit for Linux, you can create a booable USB key. It is Linux based. Download the .scexe file that contains the iLO firmware you need (might need to extract it from an RPM file) I don't think the toolkit has all the necassary bits to run the rpm command directly, but the .scexe should run, or hpsetup
There is also the chance that the iLO itself is defective and the only resolve there would be a new system board
The ML10 (837826-001) doesn't come with an iLo port built in, and I am trying to find an iLo add in card that is supported by this system. Any suggestions?
Hi, We have a Proliant ML30 server with an array with 3 HDD in a RAID5, with 2 partitions (system and Data), each disk is of 1TB of capacity. At this time we need more free space, the server can support other SATA HDD (3.5"), How can we add other 1TB HDD to the same array without losing the data?
Thanks in advanced

This very basic entry model supports Intel® Active Management Technology
As far as I understand you want to format the ILO NAND now.
You need the hpeoncfg tool to push the script to the ILO in question, if you have a bootable ISO it needs at least the ILO driver loaded in order to perform ILO operations.
Do the format, once finished pull the plug of the server for a couple of minutes.
Then check if ILO is working again.
format operation needs ILO firmware 2.42, in older versions the format is not available.
I was able to create 20GB space by truncating database tables which were not required.
Thank you all for your responses.
Thanks Torsten. Intel® Active Management Technology probably won't cut it for our environment as our support infrastructure requires iLo functionality on production servers. Since this is a server class device (although an inexpensive one), I would assume an actual HP iLo card would work in it. We tried an iLo card that we typically use in higher end HP servers, but it wasn't recognized by the system. Are there multiple iLo card options out there we could look into?

iLO is embedded in the system and not an add-in card. Some entry level servers have an optional dedicated iLO network port instead of using the embedded NIC in shared mode. Most ProLiant servers ship with a dedicated iLO port. Early on there was a RILOE plug-in board, but that has been an option for close to 25 years.
same here, struggleing for 3 days, still on windows server 2016
I've seen the same behaviour on the DL380 G9 servers we have with 2017.07.02 SPP ISO. It's just random. HP support didn't help. Resetting the NVRAM is sort of hit and miss. So I always switch to the UEFI mode before doing the SPP firmware update. I suspect the mini linux kernel the SPP may have some sort of issues when the boot mode is "Legacy BIOS"
Have you gotten any update from HP Support or have you concluded a probable cause of the problem?
Thanks
There is only online version available here - http://www.hpe.com/servers/ahsv
the only way was to connect ssh to oa, and do reset blade x, after that i succeded to tog and delete old temporary users
Dears,
We are using HP DL380 G7 server. its loaded with 3 300GB SAS disks configured in RAID 5. now our Local C partition is nearly full. So we want to increase it. I bought 2 new 300 GB hard disks.
Should I rebuild the array for this??
How will I specifically increase the Local C partition? for this if i am doing shrink and extend feature.. will i have data loss??
Sorry, I'm a noob at all of this.
It looks like the scripting toolkit for linux and windows is not free. I think I managed to find the scripting toolkit for linux download here. I think the ilo firmware .scexe can be downloaded separate from an rpm, so I shouldn't have to extract it. How do I use the toolkit to make the usb bootable such that the .scexe should run? What is hpsetup?
I think I want to format the NAND. I'm not sure what else to do.
You need the hpeoncfg tool to push the script to the ILO in question
Which script am I pushing and how do I use that tool to do so? It looks like hpeoncfg requires an OS to be installed, and it currently isn't. I'm not sure it would work because ilo doesn't seem to be responsive.
if you have a bootable ISO it needs at least the ILO driver loaded in order to perform ILO operations
What is on the bootable iso? So the ilo driver has to be part of the iso in order to reformat ilo?
format operation needs ILO firmware 2.42, in older versions the format is not available.
The ilo already on the server is older than that. Does that mean this won't work? Or does that mean I need the ilo firmware 2.42 in the bootable iso?
What OS is running on your servers in question?
No OS at the moment. I haven't installed it yet, but planning to use CentOS. I figured it would be a good idea to get most of the onboard firmware updated before installing the OS.
There are 2 utilities you can use.
hpeoncfg - can run on the local server OS and can manage ILO
hpqlocfg - can manage ILO remotely
First you need ILO make work again, otherwise you cannot do anything except replacing the system board.
Shut down the server and pull the plugs.
Connect the power cords again and check if ILO is alive. If yes, capture the ILO diagnostics web page and post.
Once ILO is alaive, update ILO firmware to 2.55, if older than 2.42.
Then use hpqlocfg to execute the following XML file
<!-- RIBCL Sample Script for HP Lights-Out Products --><!--Copyright (c) 2016 Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Development Company,L.P. --><!-- Description: This is a sample XML script to force format ll --><!-- the iLO partitions. --><!-- iLO resets automatically for this operation to take effect --><!-- Warning: This command erases all data on the partition(s) --><!-- External providers will need to be re-configured if --><!-- partition is formatted --><!-- Input: VALUE tag: all - format all available partitions --><!-- NOTE:You will need to replace the USER_LOGIN and PASSWORD values --><!-- with values that are appropriate for your environment --><!-- See "HP Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor Scripting --><!-- and Command Line Resource Guide" for more information on --><!-- scripting and the syntax of the RIBCL XML --><!-- Firmware support information for this script: --><!-- iLO 4 - Version 2.42 or later. --><!-- iLO 3 - None. --><!-- iLO 2 - None. --><RIBCL VERSION="2.0"><LOGIN USER_LOGIN="Administrator" PASSWORD="password"><RIB_INFO MODE="write"><FORCE_FORMAT VALUE="all" /></RIB_INFO></LOGIN></RIBCL>
If you can the "success" message, pull the plugs again. Re-insert the power cords and check ILO log if the format was done.
iLO is not currently available, even after pulling cords. During boot, instead of giving F8 option, it says " Warning - iLO 4 not responding." and "1500: iLO4 configuration is temporarily unavailable". It does give the IP address, and I can access the login page using the ilo web interface, but it won't let me log in due to a communication error (see above).
I'm confused...if iLO is working, why do I need to do the format?
