Lost communicatino with ILO C3000 Enclouser, BL460c Blades

[hfpinto]

Hello, i've a C3000 Enclouser with 4 x BL460c Blade Server.

Since one week i've the Problem that all Servers turn red and the message: "lost communications with ilo" apears on the Onboard Administrator.

I already have updatet the Onboard Administrator Firmware. Also changed the full c3000 Enclouser include the onboard administrator and the all interfaces.

But the problems didn't desapear.

Does Someone had this error before?

Thanks

For me this problem was solved by updating the iLO firmware on the blades.

Current version is 1.77, see the list of fixes:

hi hfpinto,

Are the iLO processors set to use DHCP or static IPs? Have you enabled EBIPA from the OA?

Hi.
Doe's this happen intermittently?
If you remove and re-insert OA, does functionality return?

Ive seen this first hand. It is usually fixed by having OA on a seperate management VLAN.

Thanks to all of you for the help, i can't made test on the system right now because the blade is productive.

Thanks
