Surely that's the wrong way round? 🤔 A bit like me buying CDs when they first appeared and then buying a CD player a few months later so I could actually listen to them 😎 Link to post Share on other sites
GarethC 30 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The server won't double in price, this may well do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

typod 10 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 They seem like a decent company. I will order from them again. I was t charged any more than the listed price so I am happy. I used the iLO advanced license from my old microserver as well. Although it did look like it came with a 1yr trial license Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 This is my first iLO 5 machine. Haven’t quite gotten the hang of it yet. Wish it was possible to have it automatically update the firmware(s) of the MicroServer when available on the web. Without having to go to the HPE site, manually download, manually apply, etc. And attaching ISOs via the web console is quite slow on a fast connection. Not entirely impressed so far, but hope I don’t actually need it for anything when I can RDP into the server itself. My MS Gen10 Plus is running WS2019. Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 2 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 My ILO kit from Hardware.com arrived at my shipping forwarder today to be shipped on to Qatar A little disappointed because when I ordered on the 17th their stock system said they were getting a number of units on the following day and it only shipped on the 18th but just happy to have it on its way to me.

Jason 84 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Is there any way within the ILO web menu itself to auto update firmware versions from HPE web? ILO 5 is littered with different firmware versions across devices, rather overwhelming to stay current. Link to post Share on other sites
GarethC 30 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Not that I'm aware of, just download the latest HP Service Pack for Proliant (HP SUM) I believe its currently 2020.03.0 and run the HP SUM installer, that will update all firmware. Doing that only becomes an issue when you are out of warranty and can't access it anymore. On the subject of the iLO enablement kit, for anyone in the UK ebuyer.com also stock them at a fair price now too. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks. Looks like they pulled the March 2020 service pack. Must be planning a new one now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
