Some more infos i forgot:

- The Rilo is reachable and got Firmware 1.62.

- Virtual Power Button doesn't turn up the Blade.

- There are 7 more Blades in that Enclosure (which are booting).

- changeing Bay doesn't take any effect.

Thanks

Hi

We had similar problem with the virtual power and this was solved by upgrading to a new firmware.

Hope this helps

Hi,

This doesn't seems replated to RILO.
IT seems to be
Serve blade degraded, or power-up prohibited by IA Module.

Do the following:
Remove the server blade from the enclosure.
With the system powered down, remove the access panel.
Visually inspect the system for damage.
Reseat or replace processors and/or DIMMs.
Verify the proper connections between the power converter module, system board, SCSI backplane, and power button/LED board.
Reinstall the access panel.
Reinstall and power up the server blade.
If the health LED is still not solid green, do one of the following:
Use the optional diagnostic station to power the server blade.
Then use the iLO remote console to continue your diagnosis.


OR

Use the System Maintenance Switch (SW4)
Switch 6 = ON
IMPORTANT: When the server blade boots after NVRAM is cleared, a delay of up to 2 minutes is normal. During this delay, the system appears non-functional. Do not attempt any procedures during the delay.

Thanks for your replys,

we now got the solution.

It was like "Prashant Sharma" posted.

The tips you gave didn't work.
Neither the SW4 Switch6=ON.

The Hardware was degraded and an HP-technican replaced the Systemboard.

Now the Blade is doing fine (for the time being).

Tanks a lot.
