HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device - Drive displays warning icon

muzza9999 — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 00:24:51 GMT

We recently acquired three DL360 G10 with the new HPE NS204i-p x2 Lanes NVMe PCIe3 x8 OS Boot Device. Of the three servers two show "warning" icons against one of the NVMe drives. The HPE Engineer has tried multiple different approaches to resolve the issue ( if it is an issue - maybe display error - only? ). This occured at install - so in effect DOA. There is currently no OS on the servers. At the controller layer the device shows as "green". Anyone had a similar issue and hopefully a resolution. HPE seem to be floundering ..... to find a resolution. With the demise of SD and USB VMware Boot we were looking to this device to address this problem. Not a good start. The devices are "black boxes" with supposedly no need ( or facility ) for Customer interactions.

@muzza9999

I hope the boot controller NS204i-p is functional despite of warning.

I have seen similar issue and noticed that warning was basically thermal warning,

Please change “optimal cooling” to “”increased cooling” in the BIOS and check the status.

To modify the Thermal Configuration, from the System Utilities screen, perform the following:

Press F9 to enter the System Utilities

Select System Configuration

Select BIOS/Platform Configuration(RBSU)

Select Advanced Options

Select Fan and Thermal Options

Press Enter

Select Increased Cooling

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Sudhir

Thank you. This really helps me after hurting my little brain for about 3 days. By trying to understand why is my smart storage array only shows 1, NVME SSD drives while 2 are installed lol.

Finally, find an answer to my question. Thank you.
