BL20p-G3 with defective iLO
With all standard switch settings, the blades do not work, they can't be powered up.
If the "iLO security override" switch is enabled, the blade can be powered up und works fine... except that the iLO is not working.
There is no iLO text during BIOS selftest and also the firmware maintenace CD reports that iLO hardware is not installed.
Question:
Is there a way to revive the iLO? Is there a trick to put a new firmware into the iLO ROM through some sort of backdoor?

Re: BL20p-G3 with defective iLO
The problem came after a firmware upgrade. I think something went wrong during the iLO upgrade. That made the iLO unusable and the server only works if the iLO secur. override switch is enabled.
This is already the second blade with exactly the same problem and I would like to find a way to make the iLO work again. So I'm looking for some kind of backdoor to re-program the iLO flash ROM. Maybe a diagnostic connector of some kind...

Re: BL20p-G3 with defective iLO
We have had this problem on many BL20p G2 and G3
and even when the ILO is just resetting it can happen...

Re: BL20p-G3 with defective iLO
Before I throw away the boards, I will try this... I remove the iLO flash chip from a working board, make a copy of it and put that into one if the defective boards. Will see if works again.
Does someone have experience with the iLO serial port? Could the firmware be fixed with help of that?
