Hi Michal,

thx for your reply, yes the servers are working properly and i can access them through remote desktop, and i have checked on those IPs they are not used anywhere on the network.
I was wondering if i can remove the OA module and install it back, but i want to see if i can do that online, i mean while the enclosure and the servers are on.

I think, its not possibe. U have to powered off the servers first, thsn only u can replace ur OA.

Thank you Thakur.
Does anybody know the root cause of that problem, can it be repaired with no downtime?

if you are asking whether you can remove the oa while the servers are online the answer is yes.

be careful if you are using vc fc though. there have been issues where san connectivity can be lost when the oa is removed/rebooted. it's fixed in v2.10 vc fw though.
