Is it normal for a ILO to NOT be fooled by a loopback connector? Our ILOs have been changing to Minor Heath status with loopback connectors, changing the status from no connection to showing error packets.
Is this the norm?
I wanted to check before disabling the ILO agent on the servers with no connection to get a better grasp on our server status viewing the list.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionI've had to resort to removing sub-agent to make the error go away.
It's a bit of a pain as it seems to need re-removing after each update of the foundation agents. It didn't use to behave this way.

Re: Cleaning up the server list with loopbacks
On your gigabit network cards have you had the standard loopbacks give you the same issue as a loopback on a ILO?
We installed loopbacks on all our network ports and I've noticed for example the HP NC7170 Dual Port Gigabit NIC, HP NC7782 Gigabit and HP Embedded NC7781 Gigabit NICs still have health warnings.
I did do some research and it seems some gigabit cards may not support or may need a different loopback. I've seen gigabit loopbacks for sale online. Maybe crossing additional wires may be needed. Hopefully it's that simple.
Thanks,
Dana

Re: Cleaning up the server list with loopbacks
I'm guessing you had to disable the gigabit nics from the bios on each server?
Having the NIC disabled in the OS still displays a health issue on our gigabit nics here.
Thanks!

Re: Cleaning up the server list with loopbacks
I'll need to retry when I'm back at the office.
It may have been the 100MB ports that it worked for...

Re: Cleaning up the server list with loopbacks
So far here it's only been the gigabit nics here. I did find a this web page from Sun with a collection of loopbacks for several devices. They list the well known loopback for the 10/100 NIC and a "TPE Loopback Cable for Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet"
Here's the webpage if anyone is interested:

Thanks,
Dana
