iLO Flash recovery:

1. 1.       Using an FTP client (or just command line FTP program) connect to the iLO IP address: 
   
   ftp 192.168.1.20 
   
   2. Login as user flash and password recovery 
   
   Name (192.168.1.20:root): flash
   331 Password required.
   Password: recovery
   231 User name accepted.
   
   3. Send the latest ilo binary file to the device: 
   
   ftp> put ilo194.bin
   local: ilo194.bin remote: ilo194.bin
   200 OK.
   150 ready to take file.
   426 Data Connection: File write error.
   2102359 bytes sent in 3 seconds (7e+02 Kbytes/s)
   
   4. Hopefully the ILO will reset itself and recover. If not manual intervention maybe required in which case power of the server completely by disconnecting it from the power for a few seconds and then power back on.
