High CPU Temp on Proliant G7 Servers

[Stephan G]

Well yes or no ;)

Nothing happened. The problem did not reappear on this server.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, the issue was finally reproduced in our lab and we were able to find the root cause of these false CPU overheating reports in the IML log. 

I've uploaded to the FTP a new iLO3 v1.59 Beta that contains the fix.

That's great news. Thanks for the fix. I will test it in the next days.

So did this really affect all or at least a few different servers with ILO3?

When will the fix be officially released?

[Oscar A. Perez]

Any G7 with Intel processor could potentially exhibit the issue.

Our Quality Assurance team wants to test this fix thoroughly so, the fix is being officially added to the next iLO3 release planned for the Jan/Feb SPP.

BTW, I did add to the 1.59 beta the critical fix for the SSRT101250 (CVE-2013-4805) issue.

Might enabling "enhanced cooling" or whatever it's called in BIOS help? Back when I was having C-state issues with my DL580G7's HP advised me to do this on them - and I've seen discussions of NIC-related problems on these systems (I unfortunately have two Qlogic cards in one of them) recommending the same to keep 10GE NICs cooler.

Hi ,

FTP Site contains only the .bin file.

Could you please provide us with the complete package for windows and linux distribution?

Could you also upload the .exe file for Windows & the .scexe file for linux?

Hi Mani,

If you are refering to the iLO3 version 1.59, this is a beta release. There is no Online Components for it.

Hi Oscar,

With this Beta Firmware 1.59, ilo logs informational messages every minute in the ilo logs.

Severity             Class   Last Update                Initial Update            Count    Description

It is filling up the ilo logs every minute. How to go about this ?
