Cannot access iLo from OA or directly

KSF — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:46:22 GMT

Hi,

I recently upgraded my firmware baseline to:
-OA 2.13
-VCM 1.22
-465c A13 18/11/2007
-685c A08 17/11/2007
-iLO 1.50

All upgrades were fine and subsequent testing was successful, however a couple of days later 3/4 blades no report in OA that they cannot connect to iLO.

If I try to connect I get -> Autologin failed: The Onboard Administrator cannot communicate with iLO. Please check iLO network configuration.

I have tried to connect directly to the IP, but it just hangs.

I have also tried...
-Failing over between OA's
-Resetting the OA's
-Rebooting the affected blades
-Re-updating the EBIPA info

..without success.

I can ping the iLO IP's and the gateway on the management network.

The only thing I haven't tried (as they are at a remote data centre) is re-seating the blades, but then again other than iLO I can manage the blades in all other ways so not sure if reseating will help?

Any ideas?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

If you want to try reseating server from remote location you can use the below command from OA.

RESET SERVER [ ]: Reset the server bay by momentarily removing all power.

It is as good as removing and inserting a server. You will have a syslog entries which say server is being removed and inserted.
