HP DL380 G6 - ilo3?

[nr8]

Hi.

Is it possible to flash the lio3 on a HP DL380 G6 server?

I have the problem that i have 4 HDD's in my server and this HDD's are not from HP. Now the server runs permanent on 78% fan speed because the ilo2 interface get a overheat error from the disk but this disk are dont overheat.

On a hp forum i read that this error is fixed at the ilo3.

I hopy anybody can help me.

Thx.

extract it, use the FW update on the ILO page.

But I doubt  this will solve your problem ...

Sorry, I was focused on the current ILO 3 firmware, but your server has ILO 2 only.

Don't try to install!

You cannot "upgrade" to ILO 3!

The DL380 G6 has iLO2.  It is a completely different chip and firmware.

You need HP Drives that provide temperature values to the embedded P410i Smart Array controller.

Thx i will test it today.

Here the link (sorry it was a Intel forum) that i mentioned in my post above

Hi. This would mean that i dont can do the flash up to ilo3?

[Oscar A. Perez]

You cannot. iLO3 is a completely different architecture. Different CHIP with different firmware.

ok... :(

is there a other way to fix my problem?

can i turn down the hdd sensors or the max values or something like that?

You might try loading the HP Health driver. I know it used to help in regulating fan speeds

Hmm.

I am running VMware on this host. I think for this OS it dosent exists this driver

FYI, there are VMWare drivers for the DL380 G6.  Go to the drivers and downloads page for that server and select the version of VMWare you're interested in.

It still may not help... if the drives you're using aren't reporting good SMART data to the system, it'll run it's fans at high speed to make sure.  It's a fail-safe in case temperature sensors aren't working, it just drives the fans at full speed.
