HP iLO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide

NOTE: Firmware components loaded will be flashed onto the system, replacing the existing
versions. If the firmware flash was successful, then the status_tag of COMMAND COMPLETED will
be shown. If iLO firmware was flashed, then a reset of iLO will occur.
If a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is installed and enabled the load command must include the
'-TPM_force' option after the URL. Otherwise the command will fail.
IMPORTANT: If a TPM is enabled, then upgrading without performing the proper OS encryption
procedure will result in loss of access to your data. If you do not have your recovery key or have
not suspended BitLocker do not flash iLO.
Non-iLO firmware commands
Non-iLO firmware commands support system firmware updates, available at:
/system1/swid<N>
Where <N> is either a number or a wildcard (*). Use a wildcard to show every firmware version
installed on the system (including iLO) and identify the software ID number of the firmware you
want to load.
To display (show) information about the firmware entities installed on the system:
</system1>hpiLO-> show swid*
status=0
status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED
