You bricked the LOMs of the G7 servers, because you probably updated from NIC (CNA) version 3.x to 10.x directly, without a step to version 4.x.

 

How to repair?

 

Try to get the EMULEX original firmware ISO from these pages and boot from:

 

 

http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=4194639&swItemId=co_137306_2&swEnvOid=54

http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=4324631&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=54

http://www.emulex.com/downloads/emulex/firmware-and-boot-code/oce11100-series/firmware-and-boot-code/

 

Once done, run SPP 2016.04 (or maybe 2015.10) again.


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
