HPE Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide Part Number: 5200-2497. Confidential computer software. Valid license from Hewlett Packard Enterprise required for possession, use, or copying. This document addresses HPE Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3) for the HPE Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2 Server Blades; HPE Integrity BL86 0c i4. Assuming a potential firmware bug, I decided to update the firmware – usually done through the web console. Thankfully, it is an easy process. 1.) Download the iLO firmware(a.bin file) from HP’s site for your specific Proliant Generation and place it on an available web server(IIS, etc.). 2.) Login to your iLO via SSH (Using Putty, etc.).
The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file (Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out.)
The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website (http://www.hp.com/go/iLO) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable.
Hp Dl360 G7 Ilo 3 Firmware Download
Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file
And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

For Ubuntu there is no available firmware installer. Select the one for RedHat. You will get an .scexe file, which you can unpack:
Hp Ilo 3 Firmware 1.28 Download
There you have it: a ilo3_180.bin which you can upload with your iLO 3 web interface.
Download from HP and extract to your PC. You'll see a .bin file in the resulting directory. You can upload that to the ILO firmware page.
You can update all of the system firmware using the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) DVD download. You can update ILO firmware from the host server's operating system using the appropriate ILO package for the running OS. Windows is linked above. Linux is linked here.
All drivers and downloads for the DL380 G7 are here.
ewwhiteewwhiteWhile struggling with the same problems on HP's website I too found it incredibly difficult to find a specific .bin version. I was going to create a library of bin files, but someone else beat me too it. This site is hosting .bin files for several ilo versions.
* other than using that page myself I'm not affiliated.
Latest firmware can be found here:http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c05249760 If you have a firmware prior to 1.20 version you have to upgrade to 1.20 first:https://h20566.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_bb45e0682dd04f098ad89e189c#tab3
For convenience, the latest versions of the firmware are being tracked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Integrated_Lights-Out, and independently by http://pingtool.org/latest-hp-ilo-firmwares/.
At time of writing, they are:
- ILO1 : ilo196.bin (30-Apr-2014)
- ILO2 : ilo2_230.bin (12-Oct-2017)
- ILO3 : ilo3_189.bin (iLO3 v 1.89.2, 07-Jul-2017)
- ILO4 : ilo4_255.bin (iLO4 v 2.55.10, 16-Aug-2017)
- ILO5 : ilo5_115.bin (iLO5 v 1.55, 25-Sep-2017)
The links are direct download for .scexe files. They are tar.gz archives prepended by a shell script, but can be detected and extracted by 7-Zip. Inside there is a .bin file, which you can extract and upload directly to the iLO.
