I tried the HP Microserver Remote Access Card (615095-B21). It is my understanding that the Microserver is being phased out and its "replacement" is the ML10, so I assumed this iLo card would work in the ML10, but it doesn't.

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?
The scripting toolkit is free, The main page is here https://www.hpe.com/us/en/product-catalog/detail/pip.5219389.html
Click the download link, you should then see a link for the Latest Linux and Windows versions
You shouldn't need to extract the scexe, it is basically a tarball wrapped in a shell script.
hpsetup is the utility used to install the firmware whan using the rpm file
There is a customer advisory that explains how to use the toolkit to reformat the NAND, but not sure that is the issue here.

Re: ML10 iLo Support
This card is for the Microserver G7, a different architecture.
The Microserver Gen8 has ILO4, the Microserver Gen10 comes without ILO.
As said, the ML10 is probably the only Gen9 server without an ILO, beginning with the ML30 Gen9 and DL20 Gen9 all servers have an ILO4.

Re: ML10 iLo Support
The MicroServer Gen8 has been replaced with the Microserver Gen10. The Gen8 MicroServer had iLO embedded, (the Gen10 does not have iLO)
The part you are referencing was for the original MicroServer which stopped shipping about a year ago. I don't think it was actually an iLO card, but some other type of BMC for remote access

SPP Gen8.1 contains older HPE Broadcom 1Gb Driver/firm than available, newer version also supported?
Hi,
OS Windows Server 2016 on DL380 Gen8
SPP Gen8.1 comes with this (older) driver and firmware versions;
-HPE Broadcom 1Gb Driver for Windows Server x64 Editions v17.4.0.0(B) (24 Oct 2016)
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_d07f1f998bcc40f2a912f37c7f
-HPE Broadcom NX1 Online Firmware Upgrade Utility for Windows Server x64 Editions v5.0.0.24 (24 Oct 2016)
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_2ab6d25c9afd48adbc98838d77
When I click revision history I can download and install succesfully these later versions;
-HPE Broadcom 1Gb Driver for Windows Server x64 Editions v20.6.0.5 (25 Sep 2017)
-HPE Broadcom NX1 Online Firmware Upgrade Utility for Windows Server x64 Editions v5.1.1.0 (25 Sep 2017)
If i navigate to this collection of Gen8 drivers I get the same 'older' drivers.
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=null&docId=emr_na-c05029449&sp4ts.oid=7271241
I assume the installer has logic to detect if installed on a SUPPORTED server so because this installer DOES install it seems to be 'supported' on a Gen8 server. Also, I think its normal to click on revisions to choose the latest version available.
But because the PSP is an tested bundle my question is, is this later version of the HPE Broadcom 1Gb Driver and Firmware supported on a Gen8?
I would stress the fact that the installer doesn't prohibit the install on a Gen8 server and therefore if used in a mixed Gen8 and Gen9 environment you could accidentally install these drivers on a Gen8.
So are these drivers supported or not? :)
Regards,
Arian van der Pijl

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
Update attempting this method (direct flash of ilo). I was able to obtain SPP 2017.04.0 and put the iso on a usb key using the usb key creator utility thing.
The server will boot into this, I select interactive mode, but it hangs while trying to find the system hardware. I'm able to open the script like in that link, but I'm unable to run the .scexe because hpilo is in use. The prompt gives directions on stopping/unloading it:
Hp Lights-Out Driver “hpilo” must be unloaded (it can be unloaded with commands “/etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents stop”, “/etc/init.d/hp-health stop”, “/etc/init.d/hp-ams stop”, “rmmod hpilo”)
But those 3 scripts are nowhere to be found, so I have no way of stopping those processes, and no way of unloading hpilo. So this is currently a dead end. Does anyone know why those scripts wouldn't be there?
Moving forward, I'm going to try an older SPP, old firmware dvd iso, and then the other method(s) suggested here.

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
I couldn't find any download links for 2016.04 or 2016.10. I tried the dvd iso, and that worked (SUM started and it analyzed the system), though it is quite old (ilo 4 v1.05), so I didn't install. I may go back to that eventually because any ilo 4 is better than no ilo 4.
I then tried SPP 2017.04.0 again, but in automatic mode. It installed a couple things, and attempted to update ilo 4 from 2.2 to 2.55, but failed: "ERROR: Unable to start flash. [ilo4_255.bin]". I rebooted, and it's currently hung on "please wait, analyzing the system...". I might try putting the ilo4 rpm on there instead of the scexe and see what happens.

Entitlement Order Number for Microserver Gen10
I have just bought an HP Microserver gen10 for private home use, I am trying to register the product so that I can access downloads but the registration form asks for an Entitlement Order Number. Ther is virtually no documentation with the Server and I have no idea what the Entitlement Order Number is or where to get it.
I am grateful for any help, thank you.

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
Review this advisory again:
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04996097
The ILO may have the evil NAND problem or it is really broken.
In order to format the NAND, we need to update the firmware to 2.55 first.
If the driver cannot be loaded, we cannot update the firmware from the server side.
It's complicated.
Try this:
use putty and point to the IP address of the ILO.
Can you logon?
Try, if a command works:
</>hpiLO-> show /map1/firmware1
If it works, we can proceed.

Re: Entitlement Order Number for Microserver Gen10
Go to
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/home
and link the servers warranty to your profile, I think it should ask for the product# and serial# of the server only.

Re: Entitlement Order Number for Microserver Gen10
I have registered my product but when I try to "link" it I get
"This entitlement does not exist. Please review the entitlement identifier and make any necessary edits, or check the box to remove this item."
Not looking forward to contacting their support, the online registration pages are bad enough.

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
Thanks for the link. It seems that in order to run the RIBCL XML script Force_Format I need to use those tools, which require an OS to be installed. I don't currently have an OS installed.
Putty didn't seem to connect. What settings do I use? SSH, port 22?
I tried the web interface again. It initially gave me a "could not connect to ilo" (or something like that) error, which was what I was getting before. However, I was actually able to login this time (maybe trying to install ilo 4 with the SPP reset something?), though it is extremely slow. I was able to select the new ilo bin file (extracted from the windows ilo 4 firmware download), and hit upload. It's going to take about half an hour to upload at this rate, so we'll see what happens.

Upgrade Server with RAM and HDD
I have a HP ML350 G8 server, I need to upgrade this with more RAM and disks.
The server have now 48gb ram, 24gb on each CPU and 3x300gb in RAID 5
I have 2x16gb RAM and 3x600gb disks
Where do I place the new RAM? and how do I configure the new disks in RAID 5?
If use see the picture you see where the RAM is placed in the server

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
Don't care about the tools now, we can run the format command from a booted SPP or just from another PC.

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
It gets to about 40% upload, then the session expires. I'm going to try to find a way to increase timeout of the web interface.

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
try a putty ssh session.
but if the ILO resets during the update for error, there is probably no way to update it.

Re: DL360p gen8 ilo 4 not available/responding
I was able to increase web interface time out to infinite, which should help, because changing windows takes 10-30s each time.
Ok, tried putty again. I'm using the given ipv6 address in brackets and port 22, then connecting. Putty gives me a black box, but nothing else, so I don't think it's connecting. Maybe I'm not using putty right?
