When updating an HPE ProLiant server Integrated Lights-Out 4 (iLO 4) firmware, the iLO "Date/Time" located under "Status" on the Overview page may change to "Not Set" if the optional SNTP settings are not used. This can occur when upgrading from iLO 4 firmware version 2.53 or 2.54 to version 2.55. This can occur when updating from iLO 4 firmware version 2.50 (or earlier) to iLO 4 firmware version 2.53 or firmware version 2.54. This does not occur when upgrading from iLO 4 firmware version 2.50 to 2.55, or when downgrading from version 2.55 to 2.50.
Any ProLiant server with iLO 4 when updating or downgrading the iLO 4 firmware version 2.50 through version 2.54. Upgrading from 2.50 and earlier to 2.55 this will not occur; however, after updating from iLO 4 firmware version 2.53 or firmware version 2.54 to firmware version 2.55, this will occur.
