Unable to boot into Intelligent Provisioning

Server: HP ProLiant Gen8 G1610T

O/S: Windows Server 2012 R2

Installed OS via Intelligent Provisioning and everything has been working fine until recently when I needed to swap a disk. I am now unable to boot into Intelligent Provisioning. Tried to re-install Intelligent Provisioning via this guide but I get an error after booting from recovery media "iLO unresponsive - unable to continue" (see screenshot attached).

Can anyone help please?

Another note. I have upgraded the iLO firmware to 2.55b. I am now trying to use a different firmware (2.44) to see if that fixes the issue.

So installing a different version of iLO helped me get further re-installing from recovery media. This time it fully loaded then rebooted my machine. Still unable to access Intelligent Provisioning. It just boots straight into the OS.

Re: Unable to boot into Intelligent Provisioning

I see Intelligent Provisioning 1.61, current version is 1.70.

Check the ILO -> Diagnostics page if you see any issues there.

Try to download AHS log, does it work?

These could be symptoms of the ILO NAND corruption issues.


Hope this helps!

Re: Unable to boot into Intelligent Provisioning

Latest version is 1.63 on that guide I originally posted but I was getting "iLO unresponsive - unable to continue" so tried an older version.

iLO -> Diagnostics
Embedded Flash/SD-CARD - Controller firmware revision 2.10.00 Embedded media manager failed initialization

Active Health System Log

AHS Data is unavailable due to a file system issue. If the iLO has been recently reset wait a few minutes and then press the Refresh button at the bottom of this page to reload.

Re: Unable to boot into Intelligent Provisioning

Formatting the NAND with the option FORMAT NAND inside the iLO web page fix it for me.

Then I booted an USB with the Intelligent Provisioning REPAIR ISO and I could update the Intelligent Provisioning for the last version without a problem.

Now the NAND is ok, and I can boot the Intelligent Provisioning boot option without any problem.

My corruption started while i wanted to update Intelligent Provisioning from insider the booted one and when it started to update it couldn't do it. With these or I corrupted my NAND or I had it corrupted from the beginning and that's why the update couldn't pass through from inside the Intelligent Provisioning

Re: Unable to boot into Intelligent Provisioning

Hi,
I have the same problem but I'm using iLO 5. I update it to the last version and tried also to boot with intelligent provisioning iso. None of these steps worked.

The guide you provided is just for iLO 4. How can I format ILO NAND on iLO 5?

 

Thank you
