BL680C : Device is reporting an internal degraded status

[RUET]

hello
i have today problems with one of my blade running ESX.
We have strange behaviours on the esx side, and looking at OA interface on the C7000, I have a warning :
Device is reporting an internal degraded status
Looking at ILO side of this blade, i saw also some strange messages :

Hello,
1) check your firmware level and upgrade if not in suppot matrix for OA, server bios and ILO. I saw similar issues caused by older firmwares
2) If above doesn't help, try to remove blade from chasis and reinsert it again.

Take a look at the IML. That will tell you what's wrong.

You have been looking at the ILo event log, it that won't help you.
