Tell the customer not to believe everything they read on the internet.

I'm not doubting that it as happened a handful of times, and those handful of 
times multiply in telling over the years, but as someone who has upgraded iLO 
and system firmware on HP(E) systems over 1,000* times with no brick, I'm 
confident that short of someone willfully powering off the system during the 
upgrade, it will be OK.


*that guess is likely on the low side, as I used to develop firmware at HP,
after working in VMS Engineering, and did a lot of firmware upgrading.  That 
number includes upgrading to firmware that was quite buggy, but didn't brick, 
and allowed a subsequent upgrade.
