).
The load command is used to retrieve a binary image from a specific source location (specified as
a URL) and place it at the specified target address.
The load command can download and flash an ldr firmware image file using TFTP from the
specified location.
To flash the firmware using TFTP settings on Windows®:
1.
Copy the BMC firmware into a directory on the server.
2.
Run TFTP by launching the executable file tftpd32.exe.
3.
Navigate to TFTP configuration>Settings, and set Timeout to 30 seconds and Max Retransmit to 6.
4.
Enter File Name and TFTP Server IP Address. File Name is the path where the BMC firmware is
residing. TFTP Server IP Address is the IP address of the TFTP server (for example, 10.141.38.157).
Flashing the firmware using TFTP settings on Linux:
1.
Navigate to Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services and make sure that TFTP and
xinetd are running.
2.
Open the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and modify the parameter server_args to include -T
15000000. For example, server_args = -c -s /tftpboot -T 15000000.
3.
If a firewall is enabled, disable it or modify the settings to allow the firewall to connect to the TFTP
port. To change the firewall settings, navigate to Applications>System Settings>Security Level, and
enter 69:udp in the parameter of the other port.
To update the firmware, log in to LO100 as the administrator through the CLP interface, and issue the
load command to upload and install the firmware from the map1/firmware directory.
1.
Start a CLP session. To access CLP:
a.
Navigate to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt.
Configuration 15
b.
At the command prompt, enter telnet <IP address>.
2.
At the CLP prompt, enter cd map1/firmware.
3.
At the CLP prompt, enter load -source <URI> -oemhpfiletype csr
where:
o
<URI> is the //<tftp server IP>/<filename> to be downloaded.
o
<tftp server IP> is the URL or IP address of the TFTP server containing the firmware.
o
<filename> is the file name of the image file (LdrImage.bin in this example).
For example, enter load -source //10.141.38.157/LdrImage.bin - oemhpfiletype
csr.
The TFTP application might report an error in the early part of the firmware upload process, during
the firmware image validation process. An error does not necessarily indicate failure of the firmware
upload and does not prevent successful firmware uploads. A successful firmware upload typically
takes several minutes. After the firmware upgrade process is complete, verify that the new version of
the firmware is active.
If the firmware upgrade process fails after sufficient time (at least 5 minutes), reboot the server, and
verify that the previous version of the firmware is still active. Always reboot the server before retrying
the firmware upgrade process.
After installing the firmware, the IP address of the server might reset to the default value. You must
locally reset the IP address to the desired address.
NOTE: After using the load command LO100 will reset ending your CLP interface session.
You must reconnect to the CLP interface.
NOTE: When you use the CLP load command with TFTPD32, HP recommends using a 30-
second timeout and 6 retries.

Using LO100
New features
This release of LO100 adds support for the following:
•
Updated user interface
•
Update CLP support
•
Updated Java™ support to include JRE 1.4.2 up to 1.6
•
Using SSL
Updated remote console mouse control
SSL is a protocol used to transmit private documents through the Internet. SSL uses a private key or
certificate to encrypt data transferred over the SSL connection. The Lights-Out 100 remote management
processor provides security for remote management in distributed IT environments by using an industrystandard encryption protocol for data traveling on unsecured networks.
SSL is an advanced feature available by installing the Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card or
purchasing the Lights-Out 100i Select Pack or the Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack. For more information,
see the section, "LO100 optional features (on page 6)."
LO100 comes preinstalled with a certificate. To install a user-specific certificate, see the one-time
"Importing a certificate (on page 52)" setup procedure.
If you cannot access the login page, you must verify the SSL encryption level of your browser is set to 128
bits. The SSL encryption level within the management processor is set to 128 bits and cannot be changed.
The browser and management processor encryption levels must be the same.
To use the preinstalled certificate, enter https://ipaddress in the address line of the browser, which
uses SSL-encrypted communication. Enter http://ipaddress to use non-SSL encrypted communication.
Using SSH
SSH is a telnet-like program for logging in to and executing commands on a remote machine, which
includes security with authentication, encryption, and data integrity features. The Lights-Out 100 remote
management processor can support simultaneous access from two SSH clients. After SSH is connected
and authenticated, the command line interface is available. LO100 supports two simultaneous SSH
connections.

purchasing the Lights-Out 100i Select Pack or the Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack. For more information,
see the section, "LO100 optional features (on page 6)."
LO100 supports the following protocols:

Using the SSH utility
When using a SSH utility to connect to a server for the first time, the utility prompts you to accept the
server public key, sometimes referred to as a host key. Accepting this key authorizes the utility to store a
copy of the public key in its own database. The utility recognizes the server when future connections are
attempted by comparing the public key to the one stored in its database.
NOTE: Logging in to an SSH session could take up to 90 seconds. Depending on the client

used, you might not see on-screen activity during this time.
Open an SSH window.
When prompted, enter the IP address, login name, and password.
Using the PuTTY utility
PuTTY 0.54 is a terminal emulation product that includes support for telnet and the SSH protocol. PuTTY
0.54 is available for download from the Internet.
•
To start a PuTTY session, double-click the PuTTY icon in the directory in which PuTTY is installed.
•
To start a PuTTY session from the command line:
o
To start a connection to a server called host, enter:
putty.exe [-ssh | -telnet | -rlogin | -raw] [user@]host
o
For telnet sessions, you can also enter the following alternative syntax:
putty.exe telnet://host[:port]/
o
To start an existing saved session called session name, enter:
putty.exe -load "session name"
When you press Enter using PuTTY versions earlier than 0.54, two line feeds might appear on a single
line feed. To avoid this issue and for best results, HP recommends using version 0.54 or later.
Using the OpenSSH utility
OpenSSH is a free version of the SSH protocol available for download on the Internet.
To start an OpenSSH client in Linux, at the command prompt enter:
ssh -l loginname ipaddress/dns name
