This issue was fixed in ilo 3 version 1.25 and is a known bug:
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03015029
The old firmware contains a "maximum SSL version". It's easy to update it. Would not suggest turning off your browser security.
Note that to install a firmware higher than v1.5 you need to be running at least v1.2. (you get an error that the firmware was rejected by the management processor). I was running v1.15 so I flashed v1.26 then I was able to install the latest iLO which is v1.89.
I get the following error:
"Get-VMHost : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the comman again.

is , Cannot continue on this host
I had to make the following change in order for it to work:
"End {$XmlFile = $JsonFile -Replace 'json', 'xml'; $OverAllInfo | Export-CliXml -Path $XmlFile"
Once I made the change of the path to $XMLfile it worked.
I had the same issue and finally tracked it down to the scratchconfig pointing to the LUN.
I'm using vSphere 6.5 web-interface so your path may be different.
1- On the host go to "Configure" tab
2- Select "Advanced system Settings" under "System" and select Edit
3- Search for scratch"ScratchConfig"
4- clear the value from "ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLoca..."
5-Reboot the host.
This is same location where JSON file is created
