ILO Problem HP ML30

[brendan1495]

Hi I have just bought a ML30 Gen 9 for home use and at boot I am getting Ilo errors, I have tried to update the firmware but this doesnt work it says unable to initialize Ilo channel interface Return code 4. On researching this error I have come accross numerous references to iLo configuration in the bios, this does not exist in my bios, could I possibly be missing siome software/ firmware? I have attached an image, could anyone let me know if I am missing something Software/firmware etc.  Or give me any advice so I can resolve this issue. Its not really a problem as like I stated its just for home use and still boots but anything not working really bugs me. Thanks for any help

Your correct it is a duplicate post, however the first post was in general servers and it should have been in prolient servers were this post is, I realised after I posted the first one I would probably get a better response in the prolient server group/area

Hi try the redudant rom on your system to fix the problem.

Many ProLiant servers ship with redundant ROM capabilities. Redundant ROM is a failover mechanism wherein the original ROM can be kept as backup in case of network failure during ROM upgrade.

To access the redundant ROM manually:
1. Remove power to the server.
2. Set the system maintenance switch positions 1, 5, and 6 to ON.
3. Power up the server.
4. After the server emits two beeps, power down the server.
5. Reset the system maintenance switch positions 1, 5, and 6 to OFF

Hi Karim, Just a quick question, I have just tried whar you said and I just get a red light on the front of the server no beeps, how long does it take I may have shut it down before it finished.

I am having the same issue. Bought the server second handed and thought it was an easy fix. But i guess i bought a brick

Solved the issue. Created a ubuntu usb-stick. Started the server with the stick and downloaded ilo4 firmware 2.82 and ran the flash with "--direct" option. And with the system maintenance switch #1 in on position. Now the ilo is working again. After the ilo got working again i changed back the system maintenance switch #1 to off again.

@Jebz Hi, could you let me know the command you used in full and I will give it ago, I gave up on the server about 18 months ago and its been in storage since.

Thanks
