Manual association

[Patrick Viquerat]

Hi Shocko,

Yes, iLo and OA are in the same subnet.

to sumarize:

iLo3 are running FW version 1.50 or 1.55

iLo4 are running FW version 1.20 or 1.22

OA are running FW version 3.70 or 3.71

Association iLo3/4 <--> server is just working fine

Association Servers (via iLo3/4) <--> enclosure is NOT working

Association OA <--> enclosure is NOT working

Many thanks

Patrick

My iLO XML reply looks different on iLo 3 but my OA is 3.32 (see attached). Did you use the https://iloip/xmldata?item=All format to get the XML reply?

Hi Shocko,

Yes, I got the XML file from https://iloip/xmldata?item=All. It looks quite similar to your file, except for the spaces after the serial number (probably added by my text editor).

I did some more investigation in the database itself, but still haven't found what could cause this problem.

Many thanks for your help

I wish I had some more time and I would troubleshoot this against my own installation but, als, I don't. Could anyone from HP comment on how these associations are formed? I presume it's a stored proceededure in the DB that runs and creates them based on the UUIDs?

Is forward reverse DNS in place for all OA/VC/iLO/Server?

Hi,

I tried the Hotfix for SIM 7.2 which was just released, but did not help in my case.

Finally, I did something i don't like to do, but we simply could not wait longer without a reliable monitoring in place:

1) mxnode -r <EnclosureName> -x force (to remove the enclosure without having to remove all blades and switches in it)

2) start a Discovery  of the OA

The enclusure was rediscovered and all association were successfully re-done.

Hope this can help someone else

Regards

and thank you Shocko for your help
