ILO2 firmware update caues BMC IPMI Watchdog Timer Timeout: Action=System Power Reset
This issue involves several DL380 and DL360 G5 servers.
I recently updated the ILO2 firmware to version 1.79 and also the HP System Management Homepage to v3.0.2.77 on several DL380 and Dl360 Servers.
Since doing so I have had sporadic power up and down issues and when looking in the ILO2 log I receive this message each time before the power cycle "BMC IPMI Watchdog Timer Timeout: Action=System Power Reset"
I have dug around online and find various threads leading nowhere specifically all indicating that HP are working on this then ending with a disable ASR as a fix in-between, which I have done and it appears to have stopped the reboots.
My questions are 1. What is the issue I am experiencing and how do I fix it ?
2. What exactly are ASR and BMC IPMI Watchdog Timer? And what are they used for?
Your help as ever is greatly appreciated!
Best Regards
Iain

Re: ILO2 firmware update caues BMC IPMI Watchdog Timer Timeout: Action=System Power Reset
The DL585 G5 User Guide on ASR:
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.

Re: ILO2 firmware update caues BMC IPMI Watchdog Timer Timeout: Action=System Power Reset
- update to iLO 2 v1.78 or later
- update the Windows Management Controller Driver to 1.11.2.0 or later
Updating one or the other is not a complete fix.

HAs anyone tried reflashing back to 1.78?
It is suggested elsewhere that the reboot will only happen once - can anyone confirm this?

My experience is that iLO2 Management Driver 1.11.2.0 AND iLO2 firmware 1.78 or later will fix the issue.

Re: ILO2 firmware update caues BMC IPMI Watchdog Timer Timeout: Action=System Power Reset
I had a colleage reference the same Advisory article, but I'm not convinced the problem is solved.
A complete solution requires that both iLO and the OS driver are updated.
Details for each are in the CA.
The iLO change addresses a "duplicate records in the SEL" bug (generated by the OS driver), the OS driver change prevents a communication hang-up that can result in an ASR.
The iLO change was introduced in iLO 2 v1.78, and released at the same time as the OS driver update. It is a difficult "update two pieces of software to address the issue" fix.
