DESCRIPTION:   This release provides updated firmware for the latest
               maintenance releases of the Hewlett-Packard Integrated
               Lights-Out Management Controller.  This Softpaq is used
               for remote iLO firmware update via the iLO web-based 
               interface or the iLO XML scripting process.  

New features -
1.  Support for the iLO Shared Network Port on the DL360 G4, ML370 G4, and DL380 G4.  

2.  Support for Secure Shell (SSH).  Note: After upgrading to iLO 1.60, a SSH connection
	will not be available for approximately 30 minutes while the key generation occurs.
	This is a one time delay.  Supports OpenSSH & PuTTY clients.

3.  Virtual Media Enhancements including: Support for scriptable virtual media access,
	CD-ROM images support, composite device (floppy and CD-ROM) support
	Scriptable virtual media allows the user to connect/disconnect the virtual media 
	devices via XML tools or the CLI. The virtual floppy images and ISO 9660 CD images
	are served from Windows IIS or Apache servers on the iLO management network.
	The virtual media applet can now use ISO 9660 formatted images as the source of 
	the virtual media CD-ROM.
	Composite device support allows the virtual media floppy and CD-ROM drive to be
 	connected simultaneously from the Virtual Media applet.

     
4.  Support for a command line interface (CLI) which is accessible using SSH and telnet
      on the iLO management network or using the host serial port where supported.  The
      CLI allows you to:
        view and manipulate the virtual power controls
        view and manipulate the unit ID (UID)
        invoke the text console or virtual serial console
        generate non-maskable interrupts (NMI) if needed
        iLO Advanced users can view and manipulate virtual media

5.  Support for new & updated XML commands.  See the User Guide for complete details.
        Enclosure static IP for select BL p-series servers
        Scripted virtual media operations
        Enhanced virtual power button control
        Configure the Shared Network Port
        Serial CLI support
        SSH support
        RBSU/iLO IP support

6.  Added text to the login screen to indicate current user authentication 
    method, directory and/or local user.

7.  Support for Mozilla 1.6.

8.  Support for displaying the iLO IP address during POST.


Problems fixed from last release -

1. Addressed ROM POST issue on the ML370 G4 when using a USB keyboard & mouse.

2. Addressed Netware 6.5 virtual media install problem.
