- HPLOMIG 5.2.0
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Fibre Channel Ports are displayed with degraded status if they are configured but not attached.
FIXES:
- IML reports fan modules failed for D3000 only after server reboot
- eRS service event added for Critical events like System Power Fault Detection
- Security fixes
- Added a Content Security Policy( CSP) to harden the web interfaces
- Enhanced Input validation for user controlled data
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Updated Jquery library to 3.5.1
- Updated Openssl library to OpenSSL 1.0.2x

3. You might encounter a "data inconsistency error" when you use iLO Federation
Management. This error occurs when an iLO on your network is not
responding correctly. Use the data on the Multi-System map page to
troubleshoot data inconsistency errors.
DOCUMENTATION -
1. iLO 4 documentation is available at http://www.hpe.com/support/iLO4.
2. Check the online help for information about how to use iLO. To access the
online help, click the question mark icon in the upper right corner of
any iLO web interface page.
HOW TO USE -
1. Download the iLO 4 Online Firmware Update Component for your
operating system.
2. Install the firmware using one of these options:
a) Run the component on the host to be updated.
The component will update the iLO 4 firmware and reset the iLO processor.
b) Extract the firmware from the component. This will place the firmware
image file, iLo4_yyy.bin (where yyy represents the firmware version), in
the target directory. You now have these options:
i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Update Firmware page, and update the
firmware from there.
ii) Use the Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG) and RIBCL/XML
scripts to update iLO 4 across the network.
iii) Use the Online Lights-Out Configuration utility (HPONCFG) and
RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 4 from the supported host OS.
3. iLO automatically resets after a successful update.
There is no need to manually reset iLO.
