Re: BL465c G7 hangs on reboot
we are in the process of updating the following:
be2net driver to 2.102.518.0
be2net firmware to 2.102.485.4
virtual connect switch firmware to 3.15
onboard Admin to 3.21
It's complicated by a problem we have where vMotion seems to cause the host to lose network connectivity. It's a different issue from the hang as the server is still operational. But we do then need to cold boot it to get connectivity back. Means we can't put the server into maintenance mode without losing a bunch of VMs. we only have development servers on it at the moment, but losing those also causes quite a bit of ire in the dev community!
Once we have this all updated I'll retest. From what Chris has said it doesn't seem as though this will fix the hang. If it fixes the vMotion issue I'll be a lot happier though. I can live with the hang issue for a bit.

Re: BL465c G7 hangs on reboot
My most recent update on this is as follows:
> New CNA driver 2.102.518.0 from VMware does NOT resolve this issue
> New CNA firmware 2.102.517.6 does not resolve this issue.
I have found that executing the following commands from the console (unloading the be2net driver manually before reboot) allows the server to reboot.
1. /sbin/services.sh stop
2. /sbin/esxcfg-module ├в u ├в f be2net
3. reboot
HP have all of the support case numbers, so we're slowly building a case. If anyone else has a similar issue please contact me:

HP are now trying to replicate our setup, they have a full virtual connect and chassis config dump.
As soon as anything else comes along I'll be sure to update here.

Re: BL465c G7 hangs on reboot
This is not a common operation I do but the PSOD occurs eveytime I do that.
I also noticed vCenter is triggering alarm on memory health even tough the IML is empty.
Only one of my blades had IML entries related to ECC memory errors so I got a replacement from HP but the alert is still present in vCenter.

Sept HP BIOS
ILO 1.15
be2net 518 driver and 517 firmware
Running off 4GB MicroSD (Kingston - $10) no hard drives or added array controller exist.
HP LP1205 mezzanine card.
HP September ESXi 4.1 image for install. All updates applied to current.
VC-F10 virtual connects (bay 1 and 2) and VC-FC 8GB virtual connects(bay 3 and 4).

Right now only the PSOD issue exists for us and it is very infrequent and not reproducible which makes it hard to resolve.

Re: BL465c G7 hangs on reboot
Driver version is be2net-2.102.518.0 patch 1. Intital tests have been *good* on the reboot issue, no PSOD (although this was resolved with version 486) and no hang.
Tested from maintenence mode and normal mode, also from the ILO and vCenter GUI.
