Oneview resetting ilo hostname

[UserName1]

Hi,

Anyone else having a problem since upgrading to 6.30.00-0447630 that when you update from template it is resetting the ilo hostname to the server serial number and you have to manually enter it again?

The profile is set so the ilo name is the the same as the template that is used but seems to be totally ignoring that setting.

Maybe this issue?  "HPE OneView - Changing a Server Firmware Baseline Resets the iLO Hostname to a Default Value"

That looks to be the issue, now just the waiting game for the fix.

Thanks

This is a new advisory that I haven't seen before for OneView.  I am looking into this, as the documented impacted releases are 6.10 and 6.20.  We have shipped 6.30 and 6.40 since then.

OK thanks, we are running 6.3 currently.  If you find anything out that would be great.

I was able to find out more on this.  It currently is a known issue, including the current release (which of this post is 6.40).  We currently have no resolution as it is a core issue to how the product works.  We are exploring ways to address this, but I don't have any path to any other fix than to re-apply the profile settings as noted in the customer advisory.

Just wanted to check I hadn't missed something, 6.50 has been released and no sign of this being fixed in the realse notes?

When we fixed it, it was not a customer found incidents.  We do not document all fixes (those that are found internally only) within the release notes, but I can confirm that this is fixed in 6.50.

Excellent - thanks for confirming that Chris, appreciate the reply.

@ChrisLynch Just to let you know this issue is not fixed in 6.50, just applied a new profile and it killed the name again.
