Thanks! you saved my day. I'm setting up an old Hp Microserver Gen8 and need to update it at all, but had a little trouble getting it to work with USB, so when you mentioned that I can mount my ISO and boot from it in virtual media, I was reminded of this :) Thanks a lot!
Total Newb to homelab, but your video helped me a lot when understanding the setup of a Proliant. I upgraded my CPU's and you inadvertently showed me how to do it in your videos (Installing the iso through the java applet. I couldn't get anything else to work. USB, virtual drives etc.) Thanks again!
Got a Gen 8 DL380P, and this was so helpful. Thank you! I want to discover running multiple virtual machines too, so I can do all kinds of stuff. Totally new to this, but this was the biggest help so far with iLO 4!
Thank you so much for this walkthrough, DCD, my Gen7 went pop so I bought a Gen8 from an auction site, SO MUCH more power in these things, and I'd never have got started without your help. Great work buddy!
Thanx dude was in over my head buying one of these second hand. Have a lot of experience with pc, but not server hardware and just by this video you taught me everything I need to manage my machine. Appreciate it
There is another incredibly simple method to override and disable password input by simply toggling the System Maintenance switch on the motherboard (usually the first one on the jumper block). This allows you to access ILO without requiring a password.
Great video! I personally didn't update to the latest ILO4, I got the modded 2.77 that has fan controls, pretty useful to quiet down a 1U when you don't have a dedicated place for server equipment ... Also keeps the wife happy :D
Can the fan control feature also be applied to the HP Proliant DL380 G7 which uses the iLO3 version? I am experiencing a problem regarding fan noise on the Proliant DL380 G7 which cannot be controlled manually And when I searched on the internet, most of them used iLO4 while the DL380 G7 still used iLO3 Do you have a solution regarding this problem?
Thanks for the very useful video! Question, is it generally possible to somehow activate the video core built into the CPU in HP (HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2) servers? For example in the Intel Xeon E3-1265L v3 processor? Or is this impossible? And can you only use embedded video?
Not that I'm aware of. If you're wanting to do video encoding in a server, I'd recommend a dedicated GPU or a consumer/desktop Intel CPU with QuickSync tech. E.g. I run an i9-9900K in my plex server for transcoding.
Thanks so much. I bought this server (380) from a flea market. The iLO firmware was from 2013 and system ROM was from 2014!! I used your video guide to update the firmware to 2024 version. It feels much better now!! The new remote access is awesome.
@@chrisumali9841 if you’re referring to the local drives in the servers, I just found them on eBay. Just search for HP gen8 (or whichever gen you have). They’re interchangeable between 360 and 380. There’s also a SAS SSD if you’d prefer.
I love how I came here to learn some stuff about iLO for my DL380 G9 I just bought, and then I started gawking at your office space and started wishing I had a finished attic to do that with lol
Thank you very much for the video. I have the same server model and this video is very useful to update it. It seems that the SSP URL is down. Could you re-upload it?
Thanks for the video. I'm familiar with Dells iDRAC and have been struggling to understand ILO. This will get me in the right direction with the other half of our server fleet. DO you have a good resource for the ILO license keys? I'm certain our predecessors never did pony up and get the full ILO license (if its the equivalent to the iDRAC Enterprice one time license, that is).
Great info! I highly recommend updating it quickly to remind people to make sure they have a backup of their activation key before doing a reset if applicable!
@@datacntrdude My apologies. I should have mentioned that I am using an HP ML350P Gen8. I am assuming that the update that you cover in this very informative presentation will / should apply? Thanks again. Much appreciated.
You can always just set the network settings up in F8 screen and change the password in there as well. And retain the iLo Advanced Licence which makes remote console more powerful as after booting into an os makes the iLo console quit saying to upgrade to advanced.
Considering I got it secondhand, I wanted a complete factory reset, and even that didn’t wipe all the OneView and SNMP/host info out. Just reset the networking. iLO can be a LOT to contend with. The intention was to illustrate how to get it all updated. 🤘

Hi, I tried the spp 8.1 updates through the link you provided on my dl580g8 and used ilo remote console cd rom but each time the system freezes. I had the same file downloaded before for my 380's and used that one too with the same issue. ilo 4 and bios are already up to date. What might be causing the system to freeze while starting up that spp 8.1 file? It gets to the screen where you can select automatic or interactive. But pressing enter or just wait for the timer to go to zero doesn't do anything. I appreciate your help!

great video, but where do you get the iLO4 License Actibation Key @10:31? do you have to buy it from HPE? or is it printed somewhere on the server chassi?
Any notes on using the serial port connection? I've set 9600-8N1 and still no response during POST. Edit: instead of Auto, had to specify the actual serial port as Physical.
Hello there. I bout a second hand HP proliant Gen9 and Ethernet ports are not shown. I couldn’t connect to internet. I couldn’t update or upgrade bios and frameware. It’s literally a piece of unused furniture. Could you help me on that and I’ll pay you. Thank you so much. Kindly reply
Nice :) I use some Proliants too :) Please make a Video how to Update the secondary System Rom :) Thats not automaticlly doing by an Update with a Service DVD or manualy System Rom Update :)
Hi datacenterdude. I have a proliant dl380 gen8 server that i got from work. There was already esxi installed (6.7 i believe it was). I deleted the existing data store to start new for my own use at home. Now i'm trying to add a new datastore but i can't it always gives me an error - failed to create vmfs datastore. Was trying to search up online but whst i found did not help and I'm also new with this as I'm a network guy. I also wanted to try and start fresh and update my esxi to the latest one. I beleive esxi are free to use right?

" to clarify, I watched your video, I reset the ilo and adjusted the chickens explained in the video. made a configuration so that the cable from my server which is included in the ilo, goes to my switch, and from the switch the cable goes to the laptop.The problem is when I pull up the browser and type in the ilo ip address. I get an error in the browser This site can't be reached ??? Please HELP ME ,thank you very much !!!
I have a DL380 G8 with the dreaded "iLO Self-Test reports a problem with: Embedded Flash/SD-CARD" error. Couldn't get it to update the iLO firmware booting up on the 8.1 SPP. Ended up loading linux and running the update from the OS to firmware release 2.78. Reformatted the embedded flash as outlined in the HPE bulletin. Powered off, did it again. Still no joy. Tried updating to 2.82 iLO 4 firmware. Still have the flash card error, but now iLO functionality has become flakey. Screens load slow or not at all, stand-alone iLO console will get video but no keyboard input. Can I back-level iLO firmware?
You can upload the other files to update the version of the ILO and the Bios to use the same versions of yours for a very grateful HP Prioliant dl360p Gen 8
Forget I asked about the links being down. My firewall was set to high on Suspicious Activity. Now if I can find someone to have a the latest System ROM (Bios) for the ML30 gen9. That would be great!
Can you provide a download link for the SPP? I have DL360 & DL380 G8’s but didn’t save the SPP before my Service Expired and now I can’t download the SPP. Please!!
Weren't Proliant DEC originally? We had some back 2000ish in dark grey then Compaq bought DEC and Proliant servers (white then) then HP (rack mounted). Proliant's were good we ended up going DELL a step backwards in remote functionality but price was the main reason. I have both DELL R410 and HP Proliant DL380 in my home lab - shame VMWARE is dropping ESXi for the ordinary lab-er. Probably have to go proxmox but at the time my labs were trying to mimic enterprise environments in the good ole days when TechNet was a thing you could run up all the M$ software (SQL, AD servers out the wazoo, IIS and some temp Citrix, SCOM/SCCM etc) the joys of running my home lab with no A/C and sweating away in 95 degree heat and being deafened by all the fans running full speed. Would have like to have go to blade but my fuse box would have exploded and my bank manager would have called me up many a times about the credit card!
trying so hard to setup these servers without a damn VGA cable. Is there a jumper that can be used to clear this? I have basically arped ethernet to find the page to visit. Default login needs to work, need to reset LIO login without ever seeing the screen

Hey nice content there! My ML350p gen8 goes blackscreen after running the „early system initialisation“ and i dont see any HP menu. Did anyone ran into the same issue?
i'm incredibly confused about the bios section of this video I've spent about an hour or two trying to find the new updated from files, is it something within the spp file? i really want to be able to update my rom
Unfortunately, it appears my own source of the SPP has been taken down and is no longer available and I've yet to find a replacement. My apologies. If you have an HPE support entitlement, it can be downloaded from their site.
@@datacntrdude I ended up finding a 2018 bios file from some sketchy source and it ended up working, been trying to wrap my head around why I've been struggling to install Linux mint OS onto the server until realising after reading up documentation that UEFI is just not supported on this specific model of proliant microserver gen8 machines. I'm in the process of formatting all my harddrives and my SSD I've installed into the optical drive bay and will attempt to install windows 10 or windows 2019 server edition to run a plex/media server. This video helped me a lot as this was my first major computer project and it's been such a headache but so rewarding. Thank you for your help! :-D
@@datacntrdude i also managed to find an ilo advanced key so I can do my server updates here and then in Canada , I have a server in New Zealand and one in Canada connected by a pfsense vpn
When I reset ilo4, I have the same screen as you but it doesn't have an ip address (I search with my ip scanner). I restart the server and it says ilo4 ip : unknown. yet when it goes to pxe screen the server have a client ip address, but that address is not reachable. Do you know what the problem can be? Can it be the battery, so it doesn't keep the change? Sorry if I'm not clear enough, but english is not my first language lol
Have a DL360pG8 that won't connect An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.15.136. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP -- Can this be fixed with re-flashing the iLO firmware? I've not been able to download something that doesn't require Windoz. There's got to be something. Please help
Hey! If you're still having this error, try this: To access iLO 4 IP in Firefox: Type about:config in search box security.tls.version.enable-deprecated change to true Then try the IP again.
Got to be careful with HP Proliant Gen8, as the iLO 4 contains a firmware bug, resulting in iLO bricking itself via writing the nand to death. We're at HPE Proliant Gen11!.
Actually I just had a similar thing happen on a project I was working on for a college. Pretty much the ProLiant Gen 8 completely bricked itself but luckily we had a redundant server in our data center and the appliance got decommed
I hit a similar thing. Your P2000 has taken over primary display. Go into your BIOS (F9) on boot and look set display preference to the onboard, not the discrete. That should get it done. That said, iLO is basically just a web server you're pulling over ethernet, so I'm surprised it's affecting that. My problem was with my local KVM. Let me know if that fixes it!
@@datacntrdude I do use HP KVM, i just want to be able to use ILO beyond BIO setup. That's the issue i'm having. The web ILO is working but not ILO remote Console feature. :(

Somebody didn’t look in the description of the video. I got you. Link is there.
@@datacntrdude unfortunately I didn’t before I commented sorry about that
@@magesnz no problem at all! Let me know if you run into anything else!
@@datacntrdude i also managed to find an ilo advanced key so I can do my server updates here and then in Canada , I have a server in New Zealand and one in Canada connected by a pfsense vpn
@@datacntrdude it worked on my nz server , I’ll do my Canada server tomorrow
How can I get a BIOS update? Mine is from 2013. Do you know how I can get it?
I'm also struggling to find the bios!!! please let me know if you ended up finding it
I followed along and lost my activation key. Any ideas how I could get it back? I have a second hand dl360 :(
Do a Google search for "HO iLO License Activation Keys" ;)
Sheeeeesh a license just for virtual ISO mount
the link for spp8.1 not working, can you check it ?
When I reset ilo4, I have the same screen as you but it doesn't have an ip address (I search with my ip scanner). I restart the server and it says ilo4 ip : unknown. yet when it goes to pxe screen the server have a client ip address, but that address is not reachable. Do you know what the problem can be? Can it be the battery, so it doesn't keep the change? Sorry if I'm not clear enough, but english is not my first language lol
forget about it, it's my first time configuring a server, I didn't know that there was an Ilo network plug behind the server
Can get into ilo4 via browser, what's your secret?
Can I boot truenas on this thing if I don't have a license for it?
Yes. I have Truenas on mine.
Have a DL360pG8 that won't connect An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.15.136. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP -- Can this be fixed with re-flashing the iLO firmware? I've not been able to download something that doesn't require Windoz. There's got to be something. Please help
Hey! If you're still having this error, try this:
To access iLO 4 IP in Firefox:
Type about:config in search box
security.tls.version.enable-deprecated change to true
Then try the IP again.
@@arnkyle problem cured by flash DVD. On to more exciting issues. Like Windows 7 doesn't recognize the NIC's No patch I've found yet works.
@@davidhenzler4817 Oooof! Sorry to hear that.
Sir I need Job in your datacenter
You need an account with HP to get the SPP
Got to be careful with HP Proliant Gen8, as the iLO 4 contains a firmware bug, resulting in iLO bricking itself via writing the nand to death. We're at HPE Proliant Gen11!.
Do you happen to know if what you’re referring to was fixed in that latest firmware image from ‘22?
Actually I just had a similar thing happen on a project I was working on for a college. Pretty much the ProLiant Gen 8 completely bricked itself but luckily we had a redundant server in our data center and the appliance got decommed
@@datacntrdude Not fixed. It's luck of the draw.
I followed this video today and got Feb 2023 update... here's hoping@@StuffJason437
I can't use ILO after installing NVIDIA P2000. Any idea?
I hit a similar thing. Your P2000 has taken over primary display. Go into your BIOS (F9) on boot and look set display preference to the onboard, not the discrete. That should get it done. That said, iLO is basically just a web server you're pulling over ethernet, so I'm surprised it's affecting that. My problem was with my local KVM. Let me know if that fixes it!
@@datacntrdude I do use HP KVM, i just want to be able to use ILO beyond BIO setup. That's the issue i'm having. The web ILO is working but not ILO remote Console feature. :(
