OAs reboot on their own after 4.21 upgrade

We have several HP C7000 BladeSystem enclosures and recently upgraded all of the Onboard Administrators (OAs) to 4.21 from 4.01.  After the upgrade, the OAs on 2 of our enclosures reboot on their own every 33 minutes exactly, sending out email alerts and causing unneeded alarm.

We contacted HP about the issue but they just keep scratching their heads.  Their only recommendation was to downgrade the OAs on these two enclosures back to 4.01 and then upgrade to 4.12 before upgrading to 4.21.  So we gave this a try... back at 4.01 the OAs never rebooted on their own... at 4.12 the OAs started rebooting again every 33 minutes and sending alerts and this also occured once we upgraded to 4.21 again.

We noticed in the OA System Log that just before the reboot occurs the following events are logged:

     - OA: DHCP Monitor: DHCPD or RADVD is not running. Restarting OA.
     - OA: Onboard Administrator is rebooting

All OAs (those affected and those that are not) are at hardware version B1 and part number 412142-B21.  Has anyone seen this issue before or have any suggestions on what can be done to correct it?  We'd like all of our OAs to be at the same firmware version (4.21) across the board.
