iLO dead on DL360 G4p after applying firmware v1.94

[Shaun88]

Good morning,

I just applied the iLO firmware through the iLO web interface on our DL360 G4p and now I cannot ping the iLO. Insight Manager also reports that it cannot reach the management processor. I tried to reset the iLO through the Management Home page on the server but that also failed. I then restarted the management agents on the server and now the it reports that there is no management processor on the box. What can be the problem? I cannot reboot the server as it is our domain controller. But can it be that the iLO is complete buggered?

Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon,

Yes it seems quite likely that the iLO is brokard. Maybe a retry of the fw upgrade could do the trick. Sometimes a NVRAM reset have fixed problems like this, that however require a reboot.

Thanks. We have a shut coming up, so I will reboot the server then. I am a bit concerned that when I reboot the server, it may not come up again. I read in other threads that when they reboot their servers, it just doesn't come up!
