Power Controller Firmware 3.4 Upgrade on BL465 Fails
Unfortunately, my blade now shows as majorly degraded. When looking at all the blades through "Rack Firmware", the power management controller version shows as "Not Available" whereas the other 15 blades are displaying 3.4.
When I try to reinstall the firmware update, I receive the following error:
"The software is not supported for installation on this system.
Unable to communicate with the Power Management Controller. You may be able to correct this problem by cycling power. You must physicall disconnect all power, not just press the power button. If this is a blade server, you must remove and reinsert the blade"
I've physically removed and reinsert the blade into different bays half a dozen times without change. I've also tried resetting power through the OA using "reset power baynumber".
I've tried reflashing the iLO and reinstalling the Proliant Support Pack.
Anything else I should be attempting to do to fix this issue? Resetting Bios back to defaults? Remove/resinsert the cmos?
Cheers

Re: Power Controller Firmware 3.4 Upgrade on BL465 Fails
The problem of degraded only happens when OA sees too much power being used.
If you leave capping enabled and have 3.3 (or 3.4?), you may find systems crashing/hanging or in my case bricking the blade when the cap is reached and OA is forced to reduce power to some resources. If that resource is a blade during firmware upgrade, you get a brick.

Re: Power Controller Firmware 3.4 Upgrade on BL465 Fails
HP said the only solution was to replace the system boards which was completed today. We are waiting on the supposed 3.4b firmware to be released until we update. Until then, the rack overview on all our blade enclosures will be filled with Orange warnings.

"The power management controller firmware on this blade must be upgraded. Please see customer advisory c01668472."
