BL620c G7 powering off on reboot
While testing RHEL 5 and Vmware 4.1 we noticed that if we issue a reboot (shutdown -r) command from the OS, the server gets powered off, requiring manual intervention from the ILO to turn it on again.
The led on the OA turns yellow like when the servers are powered down.
This is very upsetting since it requires accessing the ILO in order to restore the servers.
We are seeing the same behaviour on our two test units, they are all running the latest BIOS (02/19/2011) and ILO3 Firmware (1.20). The OAs are running FW 3.21.

What is set in BIOS on the blades that relate to this?

Re: BL620c G7 powering off on reboot
We had one Bl460c G1 blade that would sometimes power itself off during a restart. The OA did not show anything wrong, but it could not be restarted.
I had to go into the data server room, and lie down on the floor to access the Insight (LCD) panel. Nothing ueseful. Then, I heard a very quiet beep every five seconds.
I gazed upwards to the wayward blade, and there was a tiny, nearly-invisible red "heart" symbol which was lit. I called HP support. All that was needed was to "reseat the blade". WTF? We bought this blade chassis so it could be managed remotely. But, no sign of trouble on any remote tool; nada.
After this happened, oh, maybe the fifth time, I had good luck, and it happened to our field serivce guy who got struck by this lightning during a firmware upgrade marathon.
The blade was (eventually) replaced. HP actually built an identical, new blade to match the sick one, and let us have it for a while until all the VMs were migrated off of the old, failed blade.
I didn't mention the number of times the various components on the failed blade were replaced; the symptom never went away, but it only happened maybe once very 10 restarts.
Sigh
