BL460c's hanging up

Phil,

Our isue is manifesting itself in the same way, the red health light is flashing when this problem crops up (although it doesn't show as flashing on the Onboard Administrator web page). We are not using APC PDUs so I doubt this is a problem. In fact we are using the HP PDUs that shipped with our 2 c7000 chassis.

Just an update, I work with rvilat and after discussion with the HP engineer and upgrading to the latest BIOS/OA/iLO, we believe the issue is a communication sync between the OA and iLO when a command prompt restart is issued - so it's independant of the OS installed - we run SUSE on our 91 servers.

We're now running OA 2.41 and iLO 1.70. BIOS was upgraded to 2/11/08 and we've had no problems since. Worth a try.

I'm getting the same issue here,

OA 2.41
Ilo2 1.77
BIOS 2008.11.02

Doesn't happen every reboot, and a reseat does the trick. I've had the issue with the ILO2 Management driver noted here:

So I've downgraded the ilo2 driver and scheduled a reboot for last night which is when the issue occurred. Perhaps they're related so I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi!
Problem should be solved with OA-Version 2.52. See HP-Advisory c01828885.

We've updated our 50 c7000 Enclosures to 2.52 an have no more Problems.

I am still having this problem and I am at OA 2.60 and ilo2 1.81.

Anyone else having this problem still and at a later version than noted in the post before mine as being the fix?

Hi Jeremy

We are getting the same issue. Would you please let me know have you fixed this issue ? And how did you make it ?

[PEdwards17]

this problem just started for us in the past 2-3 months.  My OA is at 3.31 and the ILO on the blades is at 2.06, so our versions are pretty new (2.06 is the most recent ILO and 3.32 is the newest OA).  Not sure why this started happening out of the blue - I've had some of these blades for 3+ years.
