Unable to establish communication with iLo/RILOE-II

I believe, unfortunately, the only fix for this was to replace the server hardware.
Luckily I worked in an environment that had plenty of spares. We sent out a new identical DL360 G5 and did a drive swap.
The problematic server was sent back to HP.

HP staff replaced my motherboard.

I've also had bad luck with the 8.40 version of the Firmware Maintenance CD, both BL460C G4's I've applied it to have lost ILO connectivity. As a matter of fact I can't even power them on anymore, the chassis seems to think there's no Blade in that bay.

In our case the HW MB had to be changed.
No response from HP on this firmware update?

[rustsh]

I've updated two other DL360 G5 servers since my first incidence. Both servers are fine.

Same bad luck.

iLO just died after updating one of our BL460C from FW 8.40 CD.

[Peter Voyno-Yasenetskiy]

Sadly, not just iLO died, but whole server died.

After removing and inserting it back to the enclousure, blade server is in "Unknow" status and won't start.

I got excited when I saw 8.50 was out so I tried it but sadly it does the same thing as 8.40, my system board is now a paperweight.

Has there been any update on this? I have seven servers with this very same problem. Unfortunately all of them remote.

I have this issue with about 25 servers, after a long discussion HP has recommended the follwoing config.

In order to get the ILO working to do the updated I will do a coldboot.
