BL460c ILO2 problem after firmware (ROM flash) upgrade to 1.70

[JFMartin]

You mean, the problem remained after the ilo2 driver downgrade but how things goes after ilo2 firmware upgrade to 1.77 ??

[JFMartin]

I'm flashing firmware to 1.77 on one of my server still experiencing the crash with ilo2 driver 1.80... stay tuned.

Hi All. I have just experienced this problem that you guys have been getting and I tried the above links to download the HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller Driver for Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions version 1.8.0.0 but the link is broken. Anyone know where I can get this download from and did the downgrade help?

Thanks
Dean

Hi,
I just retried the links above and they still work

The link i am trying is

When I click download then I get the broken link page. I just google'd the cp install file and downloaded it from cnet in the end. I hope its safe.

This url takes you to the HP download site for ver 1.8:

Don't forget to COLDBOOT your server when installed!

[Dean M Baker]

Thanks for that.

When you say COLDBOOT do you complete power down, unplug power cables, leave for 30 seconds then power back on?

Thanks.

[Torbjorn Mohn]

I mean COLDBOOT from the ILO menu, NOT completely coldboot as in removing the powercord. My problems did NOT go away until i did that after downgrading from 1.11 to 1.8.

HP has released ver. 1.11.1 of the iLO 2 Management Controller Driver:
http://tinyurl.com/pwchzc
This appearently is supposed to takle care of the event log messages (event id 57): "Fixed improper logging of warnings to the Windows Event Log after a reset of the iLO 2 interface. These messages all used Event ID 57."
Has anyone of you had the courage to test it for the problems we have been discussing here? I'm not only thinking of the Event ID 57, but also the BSOD's we have encountered?

[Torbjorn Mohn]

Sorry HP, but ver 1.11.1 did NOT cut it. Installed it on one of my Bl460c blades yesterday (Windows 2003 server x64), and the EventID 57 error messsages reapeared this morning. First this one:
"NetFN 0x4, command 0x2D timed out "
then this one:
"Failed GET SENSOR READING, sensor 8"
both at the same time.
HP, why is it so hard to get this fixed?
I'll keep it installed for now, and see if the BSOD's also re-appear. Have NOT yet seen it happen.
