Hi,

For 212 processor error, try updating the iLO 2 firmware and reboot.

If that does not fix the error, there could be issue with processor or slot itself.

Swap Processor 1 to Slot 2 and vice versa, you will come to know if the issue is with processor or slot.

For Dynamic power capping settings see this link:

Thank You!

The last DL380 G6 firmware update was from last July... I have it installed on all of my own DL360 and DL380 G6 models (4 or 5 of them) and haven't seen any problems.

If you don't reboot your servers too often (after all, you just recently updated the firmware from 9 months ago or so) then it could be simply that the processor was getting a little iffy, and the reboot for the firmware update happened to bring that out.

It wouldn't be the first time I've seen everything on some system running smoothly, and then I rebooted and it all blew up. Last time was on a Juniper firewall... that was annoying (memory decided to die when I rebooted after an OS update).
