About ML110 Gen9 upgrade Power Supply to 750W RPS

[mysy]

I have upgrade my ML110 Gen9 from 350W power supply to 750w RPS unit.

After I connect all the cable refer by the service manual. The system boot-up, OS ESXi working file. iLO4 could find two power supply. Only problem is not provide power meter function ?

  

Does it request change some parameter like server model ID ?

I update the BIOS to 2.80 , iLO4 2.77 .  Use spp 2020.09 update all item when it need. still have this problem

The power supply hardware model I checked,  same as the quickspec document request. 

I see some post if ml110 gen9 power meter worked , the PCM fw should be 1.0.9, but my is 3.3(look like Gen8 power capping microcontroller fw version).  I try update it from my ML110 Win2012 server OS, it failed, say not contain hardware it request. 

Does the old HP model ML110 Gen9 server RPS power supply FW use Gen8 code and it change in later? 

How could I update my RPS power supply with power meter reading function?  

I try reset iLO config in webpage and hardware pin. reload factory setting for BIOS.  still same issue.

FWIW, according to the help text for the Power Meter page:

Prerequisites

• The server power supplies and the system BIOS support power readings. If power readings are not supported, this page displays the following message: The Power Manager is unavailable for this configuration.

• A license that supports this feature is installed. For information about the available license types and the features they support, see the licensing documentation at the following website: http://www.hpe.com/info/ilo.

 You can obtain an iLO Advanced trial license (to see if that helps) from here:

Hello,

I don't see any update here, there are a few posts with the same issue, and still no solution on all of them.

My case is the same ML110 Gen9 , two 750W PSUs with ID  512327-B21,  but no any readings.
At power settings there is a messsage - Power Cap is not supported. I've found some common guides where the Power Cap need to be enabled to get also Power Readings working, but at my BIOS P99 v2.96 there isn't such option. Also at Power Meter  there is a message "The Power Manager is unavailable for this configuration." and that's all. I have iLO Advanced license installed, my both PSU working properly, I've already test the hot-pluging feature. I'm runing ESXi 7.0.3 one of the latest HPE/VMware custom images with all drivers embeded. 
I can't see any suitable document, which is describing what to do to get the feature working.
