Network connectivity issues with BL460c Gen8

vremenar — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 13:53:37 GMT

I'm having issues with BL460c Gen8 blade servers in the C7000 enclosure chassis. They are randomly dropping network connection with this logged in the Windows System log:

"HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapter : The Ethernet link is down."

"OneConnect (PCI Bus 4 Device 0 Function 3) : Port link is down, Check connection to OneConnect."

In the blade chassis there are other blade servers (G1, G7, G8 and G9) but only G8's lose network conncetions.

On the servers are Windows Server 2012 R2 OS is installed with the latest drivers and firmware.

It is not an issue with the network switches as we have mutiple enclosures on different switches.

Hi,

HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapters are compatible only with few Gen8 servers.

What is the firmware installed on 554FLB?
