iLO 4 issues

[grimson]

Ok,

DL360 Gen9, Bios 1.50, iLO 2.22, all latest.

After reboot ESX Host OS not coming up (could not obtain ping reply)

Tried to connect to iLO with browser -> Sluggish and SSL Error, cannot connect. (Server is in Datacenter!)

Fortunately tried to connect with SSH -> map1/reset (reset iLO)

Tried one more time and HTTPS -> iLO worked again.

Unfortunately, the server booted up before I could obtain a Remote Console KVM view.

Again, only after resetting iLO the server started to boot to me, I could spontaneously ping the host OS after connecting to iLO.

Same Critical Error in Event log, to me: this also stopped booting up the server installed OS (ESX) until a reset of iLO probably corrected the 'critical error' and let the server boot it's OS.

 We do utilize the embedded SD-Card reader where ESX is installed on.

In my case HP technician has replaced the motherboard.

Everything works now

HP looked into the AMS logs for all the 3 DL360G9 servers and found the same errors (not visible in the iLO logs) so I was told. Upgraded to iLO 2.30 but the cause is still unknown. Only one server did exhibit the iLO error but all three seems to have some sort of errors visible thru AMS extraction.

Hopefully this can be 'fixed' thru firmware updates OR a major hardware replacement job.

Same here. Microserver Gen 8 with iLO4 suddently is not always accessible with:

Connection with iLO cannot be established. If you recently made changes to the network configurations, you may need to refresh this page to re-negotiate an SSL connection.

Hi guys,

the same error with iLO4 on DL380p Gen8:

  "Connection with iLO cannot be established. If you recently made changes to the network configurations, you may need to refresh this page to re-negotiate an SSL connection."

Update: Solved by updating iLO4 FW from 2.50 to 2.54

Hi Guys.

I had same issue with ILO4 2.55, on DL560 Gen8

To resolve, I reseted ILO via CLI.

ssh -l username ilo_ipaddress

</>hpiLO-> reset map1

If this is the same error

>> Embedded Flash/SD-CARD: Embedded media manager failed initialization.

then update ILO firmware to 2.60, format the NAND and pull the power plugs to make the format working.
